My Project

I am so excited to get some basic materials to load up our room with motivation.

Snacks are a huge motivation for them as well.

They love prizes and new materials. They work hard to earn the erasers and fidgets as prizes.

My students are learning how to recognize their feelings using calming strips and fidgets to stay focused.

The special book about Purple People helps the students connect as with each other, as they learn about each others similarities and differences, in a positive way.

These items from sticky notes to prizes will be used on a daily basis in our room to keep them focused and motivated to be the best people they can be.

Thanks
