My Project

The goal of this project is to add more tools the students are enjoying this year! I would love to support their curiosity and love of learning. Many students enjoy hands on learning, so the tools selected would help encourage that! The new supplies would be used to help fill any gaps our families may have for this year. As many educators know our students often wear out their supplies by this time in the year. The new supplies include spiral notebooks, composition notebooks, highlights and loose leaf paper.

Sensory and hands on learning are amazing for students, especially in a world full of screens!

The STEM bridge builders, axolotl stretchy fidgets, Kaleidoscope fidgets, marble run magnetic track, and Fat Brain toys air toobz will help inspire their hands on learning.

The bean bag chair would help provide another comfortable seating optino. THe Lakshore calming kit and chart paper will help with social emotional learning to reinforce what they are learning. The bookshelf would be used to display books that are available to them and at a height that they can look at them on their own! The bookshelf displays books forward to help inspire their curiosity.
