My Project

This school year, students are returning to school to deal with uncertainty. As we try to catch up with the academic losses due to the pandemic, students must also face the reality of school violence and new types of disease spreading. Most students come from modest families dealing with a recession, and a loss of jobs creates learning barriers.

These items will help students stay healthy physically and mentally.

As an educator, I have to provide my students with emotional stability. Laminating materials help us keep things clean and easy to wipe with wet wipes. My first pencils are triangle-shaped, which prevents them from rolling from students' desks. Pencil grips will help make learning more accessible for young learners. Stress balls and ADHD worksheets can assist students to destress while working in the classroom. Play-Doh is a great sensory material for making alphabets and three-dimensional math structures. Hand soaps and tissues will help students clean and healthy.
