My Project

The items I am requesting for my classes will enrich and enhance critical thinking and problem-solving and will help students regulate mental health issues. In addition, the items will support students' academic success. I hope to provide our students with tools that will improve creativity, cognitive function, and social skills. Small groups of students will work collaboratively to put puzzles together and solve problems, which will encourage students to learn how to work together. These materials will be used during brain breaks, Advisory, STEM groups, and clubs. These games and STEM challenge kits will allow students to engage in sensory activities that are meaningful and thought-provoking.
