I have the privilege of working with an incredible group of students in my elementary special education classroom.
Each child brings unique strengths and challenges, and I am continually inspired by their resilience and determination to learn.
My students thrive in an environment that supports both their academic and social-emotional growth, and I believe that the resources I am requesting will make a significant difference in their learning experience.
The social-emotional curriculum will provide structured lessons that teach my students essential skills such as self-awareness, self-regulation, and social skills. These lessons will empower them to express their feelings, develop empathy, and build positive relationships with their peers.
Offering mints and gum can be a simple yet effective way to help my students focus and stay calm during lessons. The act of chewing can aid concentration and reduce anxiety, allowing them to engage more fully in their learning.
Timers will help my students manage their time effectively during tasks and transitions. Visual timers will provide a clear indication of how much time is left, which can alleviate anxiety and promote independence in completing tasks.
Incorporating movement into learning is crucial for my students, many of whom benefit from physical activity to help them focus. The books I am requesting will provide engaging activities that promote movement and allow students to channel their energy in productive ways.
