My Project

This project addresses various needs identified by students and teachers. Students need help with focus and have identified various toys, such as soft stuffed animals to magnet finger rings to help them quietly focus their minds and energy. The mailboxes will help students keep track of class materials such as notes, notebooks, folders, and projects. Students will use earbuds to help them complete assignments that require videos or audio. Also, during independent work time, music can help students focus and find success. Finally, one of our more expensive calculators malfunctioned and we need a quick replacement. We are looking into repairs but need one more to complete the class set for right now!

All of these requested items focus on student success!

The various fidget toys and tools will help focus energy quietly and helpfully to support all students in the classroom. These packs will replenish the fidgets I have already shared out with students. Help us provide some additional supports to develop young minds and independent learners!
