My Project

Printer ink, healthy snacks, and sensory toys can significantly enhance my students learning by improving engagement, focus, and cognitive development. Access to a printer allows students to create visual aids, posters, and other educational materials that enhance their understanding of concepts. When students can print their work or projects, it fosters creativity and personal expression. Healthy snacks provide essential nutrients that support brain function. Foods rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and healthy fats contribute to improved concentration and memory retention. Sensory toys help students with attention difficulties by providing tactile stimulation that can improve focus during lessons. These sensory toys allow for physical engagement while listening or participating in activities. All of my students have a growth mindset in which I believe students will be able to learn and improve with the use of the requested items.
