My Project
I am a first year Special Education teacher that will be working with students who need frequent breaks and help with regulating their emotions. The items I have picked will help students regulate themselves when feeling overwhelmed or frustrated.
Different types of sensory toys are able to help bring students back to a calm mind and body to ensure top tier learning is possible.
Other uses for these items will be giving the students more fun options to use when a break is earn after they have been working super hard.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
