My Project

My students are bright, curious, and eager to learn. As a multilingual teacher working with kindergarten and first-grade students, I know that engagement is key to their success. That’s why I’m requesting fun and engaging fidget toys and sensory items for our classroom prize box!

The mini pop fidgets, stretchy bendable figures, magic snake cubes, and Crayola silly scents dough will serve as more than just rewards.

These items will support my students in developing self-regulation skills. The sensory tools help reduce anxiety, improve focus, and provide a quiet, engaging way for students to manage their emotions while learning. The Ring Pops add an extra layer of motivation, giving students a sweet treat to celebrate their hard work!

What makes my students special is their determination and excitement to learn, despite the challenges of mastering a new language. They inspire me every day with their resilience, creativity, and kindness. I want to continue to create a learning environment that recognizes their efforts and provides them with tools that help them succeed.

Thank you for making a difference in my students' overall learning experience.
