Boosting Up Academically and Emotionally!

My Project

I have chosen some fidgets and indoor brain break activities to help my students be able to release some of the extra energy inside of them and be able to come back and focus on what we are learning.

I also picked out some academic supplements.

The phonics/letter activity will help students with reading, writing, and spelling. We will be able to use this with 1-on-1 and small groups. The math will help students be able to understand the concepts of addition and subtraction on a dry erase board that can be reused many times in small and whole group.

The lamination sheets are to help with the supplemental handouts and wall references to keep our classroom engaged in the topics with boosts when we need them.

My students are wonderful and smart children. We, as a class, want to be successful and be able to build on our knowledge without the difficulties of being distracted by many things. They are such hard workers, I want to be able to support them fully.
