My Project

This project focuses on organizing student learning to help the students focus on learning. I would like to provide my students with the ability to organize their materials using seat-back pockets for their supplies. This will help them more quickly access the materials they need to participate in tasks and whole-group instruction.

Sometimes, students become overwhelmed and need a place to destress and refocus.

This project also includes calming corner materials and supplies (breathing lamp, nightlight, sensory tiles, and stickers). I would like to provide my students with a space to feel safe.

With all of these resources, I will be able to provide my students with organization, supplies, and resources to help them learn to the best of their ability.
