My Project

All of my students struggle in one way or another. They are all in special education utilizing the resource classroom. The flexible seating options will help my students be comfortable, so they can still listen to instruction and do their work. The speaker will ensure I can create a calming atmosphere for my students who have high anxiety from everything else going on around them. For my students who just need a break from everything around them, they can sit on the bean bag chair and take a moment to breath.

These materials will ensure my students with disabilities can access the general education curriculum with reduced anxiety.

My students need extra support for their social, emotional, and mental well-being. The games will help provide a fun way for my students to learn about coping skills and how to handle big emotions. The laminator will help me to quickly create visuals for my students to utilize in their general education classroom that will last.
