My Project

The specific items I’m requesting will provide my students with the resources they need to stay focused, engaged, and supported in their learning. Sensory tools like fidget toys and chair bands will help students with attention challenges stay on track, while hands-on materials like reading trackers and math resources will foster deeper engagement with core subjects.

My goal for this project is to create a classroom environment that addresses the diverse needs of my students, promoting both academic and emotional growth.

These materials will support students’ learning styles and enhance their overall classroom experience.

What makes my students special is their resilience and curiosity. Despite facing unique challenges, they are eager to learn and grow. This project will help them reach their full potential by providing the right tools to succeed.
