My Project
I am a 4th and 5th grade resource teacher, and I do my best to help students stay in their classroom. Depending on what they are learning within the classroom, sometimes we need to utilize my room to give them specialized learning opportunities in specific skills they need to strengthen, so they can feel more empowered in their homeroom to shine. I work with students who range from having a learning deficit in certain areas, and ADHD, to students with Autism, Behavior issues, or an other Specialized Health needs.
The items I am wanting to purchase for my classroom will help me give my students options for seating, movement, and fidgeting, a calming atmosphere for learning, as well as tools to help them feel more confident in the areas of their the Social and Emotional health.
Items such as flex bands, ball chairs (to replace broken ones already in my room), wiggle seats, and fidgets will help support my students who need some of that extra wiggle or movement to help them focus. Some items are for a calming atmosphere for those who may become overstimulated and need to reset their bodies and minds. Other items and more focused on learning and tools that they can utilize to help them throughout the day.
Your support to help build a better classroom toolkit to help meet all my students needs would be greatly appreciated!
