My Project

My students come to school each day full of energy, curiosity, and excitement for learning. To help them do their best, I want to provide resources that meet their needs both academically and emotionally.

With this project, I am hoping to bring in snacks, quiet seating solutions, and fidget tools.

Snacks will give my students the fuel they need to stay focused during the school day, especially when hunger becomes a distraction. Quiet seating options, like tennis ball chair covers, will help create a calmer learning environment where students can concentrate without extra noise. Fidget tools will provide positive outlets for students who need help managing energy, stress, or focus during lessons.

Together, these resources will help my classroom become a place where students feel comfortable, supported, and ready to learn. Your support will give my students what they need to stay engaged and successful each day.
