My school has an amazing mix of cultures that give a very global feel to our hallways and classrooms. Our learning community has a variety of learning levels and English proficiency levels throughout each classroom. We have dedicated, hardworking parents and community members who truly want success for each and every student.
Our students are innovative and creative individuals who are willing to think outside the box to show academic growth.
They approach challenges with a positive attitude and are continually supporting each other in their academic endeavors. Our students are respectful of each other's differences, and embrace the diversity around them.
My Project
Students use a number of things to help with their social and emotional well being in the classroom. One of the big things that has had a huge impact on my classroom has been figits. Tangle Jr. Original Fidget Toys, Qmifun MECULE Fidget Toy Stress/Anxiety Relief for Adults and Kids, and Sensory String Fidget Toys are the three new figits I would like to add to my classroom. These figits can help calm by keeping hands while the brain is taking in information. The figits uses and expectations will need to be taught so they do not become a toy.
My students need materials to help provide a calming environment while they are learning.
Another material in the project is the Educational Insights Fluorescent Light Filters and Educational Insights Pete the Cat School's Cool! Decorative Light Filters . The fluorescent lights can become a huge distraction as students are working in the classroom throughout the day. More natural light will allow the students to have less sensory overload.
Lastly, my students need some more HemingWeigh 1/2-Inch Extra Thick High Density Exercise Yoga Mat with Carrying Strap to decompress throughout the day. We use them during our learning time as a soft place to read, write, or problem solve. They will also be used for movement break sessions where kids are stretching and doing yoga.
