Many of my students have difficulty with focusing, staying in their seats for long periods of time, and writing/remembering their names. Using the bouncy bands at times when they are unable to move around helps students get their "wiggles" out while remaining in their seats. Pencil grips will ease the struggles of writing throughout the day and name charts ensure the students will memorize their name and the spelling. I service students with many different needs, however, all students could benefit from these items in the classroom. Please help me reach my goal to reach and support as many students as possible. The items listed will help my students establish daily routines and begin their school day on the right path. These tools will also help them close the gap between what they are able to do right now and what is expected of them.
