My Project

Wow! My students are awesome! They are high school students who are dreaming of becoming future EDUCATORS! Our program, educational leadership, is a two-year program for high school students who want to become teachers!

Part of that experience is learning about the "social-emotional" behaviors of children and teens!

We are going to create a "Calming Time-Out" space in our classroom for when a student just needs a few minutes to themselves! This space will contain a futon, rug, lamps, and sensory items AND, this is where you come in! Please help us purchase the sensory items needed to complete this space.

Thank you for your support!

Ms. Bell
Grades 9-12
