My Students

Welcome to my classroom. Inside you will find happy and engaged three to five-year olds! The majority of my students live in households that are at or below poverty level income and enter our classroom with hope, eagerness and a desire to learn.

My Project

Preschoolers love to learn. However, some students need a little help to cope.

The majority of my students come from difficult homes and knowing how to calm down is sometimes stressful.

By giving my students materials to help them succeed is crucial. The cuddle ball and weighted animals will help my students by providing comfort and security. This way any student can individualize the time that they need, whenever they need.

The sensory rings, sensory shapes, and rainbow liquid sensory viewers allow stress relief or for providing sensory and tactile stimulation and exploration. These materials also strengthen hand muscles and develop fine motor skills—all while focusing children’s attention for an endlessly calming sensory experience.

Finally the theraputty will work with children of all abilities and can improve grip strength, finger dexterity.

Thanks for giving ALL my students the ability to have successful learning experiences.
