My Project

This year I have a wonderful group of scholars who all need a variety of tools to help them focus and learn We have a large number of students who learn better with quiet and another large number of students who learn better with noise and movement. The sound protection headphones will help those who need it quiet to learn and the wiggle cushions will help the students who need movement do just that, move. The counters and place value blocks will help each student have an individual set of manipulatives for hands on math learning and the privacy shield will help students who need less visual input to focus. The sharpies and ink pads will be used to provide positive feedback to students who need more of that.
