My Project

The effects of COVID 19 is apparent in my 2nd and 3rd grade students. They struggle to say letter sounds correctly. Letter sounds are the building blocks to reading whole words. My students struggle to learn in tradition ways. We try to supplement their instruction with hands on activities.

My students also struggle with working at a regular classroom table without fidgeting.

The flexible seating options will help them be more successful in completing their work. The lap pads and fidget bands will help my students who have ADHD and sensory issues.
