My Project

Having basic supplies on hand help to relieve anxiety for students and the use of stress toys can help calm fidgeting hands and minds. By providing earbuds for testing as well as for listening stations, provide seating options on cushions and rugs, having some light snacks on hand are just some small ways I feel I can help my students be more comfortable and ready to learn.

This project is to help create a cozy learning environment in my English Language Arts Classroom.

I can’t wait to begin another journey with some amazing students.
