My Project

Providing my students with basic supplies helps them in multiple ways to demonstrate knowledge and provides feedback. With flashcards they can improve their working memory and provides them with a tool for learning. The erasable pens help them to overcome the fear of writing with mistakes and a visual to growth mindset. The post it tabs and journal help them track their learning and self-reflect.

Having the tools to organize supports the executive functioning that is needed for any learning to take place.

Teaching students to be self-sufficient and successful is the goal! Let's give these students what they need.
