My Project

We need a few odds and ends to make the school day run more smoothly. I would like to provide students with the opportunity to earn a day of pampering. So, we are requesting soap, skin care products, and tea. Weekly students will earn the spa products by displaying positive behavior in school. Then they will be allowed to use them during our relaxing spa day.

An uncomfortable first grader is a distracted student.

Our classroom needs more comfortable places to learn. We would like a wobble stool that will keep my first graders upright as they wiggle and fidget while sitting. It will be placed at one of our tables and rotated weekly, along with our other alternative seating, so that all of the students may have a chance to use it.

School can be stressful. This project not only promotes positive behavior but will positively impact the mental health of my students.
