My Project

The specific items I am requesting for my classroom will make a significant difference in my students' learning by providing them with the tools they need to regulate their emotions and behaviors. The calming strips will offer a tactile and visual way for students to calm down and focus, while the carpet will create a cozy and inviting space for students to engage in quiet activities. The sensory balls, fidgets, and stress balls will provide students with a healthy outlet for excess energy and anxiety, allowing them to release tension and stay focused on their work.

By incorporating these sensory-friendly materials into our classroom, I aim to create a more supportive and inclusive learning environment that caters to the diverse needs of my students.

My goal for this project is to improve student engagement, reduce stress and anxiety, and increase overall academic performance. I also hope to see an improvement in student behavior and social interactions, as students learn to manage their emotions and develop self-regulation skills. What makes my students special is their unique blend of energy, creativity, and resilience.

Many of my students face challenges outside of the classroom, and yet they come to school each day with a willingness to learn and grow. By providing them with the tools and resources they need to succeed, I am confident that they will thrive and reach their full potential. With the support of this project, I am excited to see my students develop into confident, capable, and compassionate individuals who are equipped to succeed in all areas of life.
