My Project

I teach in an Alternative Learning Environment (ALE) classroom at a Title I school, where my students are incredible individuals with unique needs. Many face challenges with emotional regulation, focus, and organization. Despite these struggles, they show up each day ready to learn and grow.

This project, “Calm & Capable: Tools for Success,” will provide essential sensory tools and organization supplies to help my students succeed.

Items like visual schedules, fidget tools, calm-down kits, and flexible seating will support them in managing their emotions and staying on task.

These resources will help build structure, reduce anxiety, and empower students to become more independent and confident in their learning. For my students, tools like these are not extras—they’re necessities. With your support, we can create a safe, calming, and focused learning space where every child has the tools they need to thrive.
