Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

This project will enable my students to stay cool, calm, and chill. The putty will provide and help my students regulate their hands, and build up hand strength. We will use the putty to calm our bodies by using it as a fidget tool. Helping them to keep their hands busy. Theraputty is a durable, non-toxic, and latex-free putty-like material that leaves no residue, so it is safe for our students' hands and won't stain or stick to the skin.

The ink and putty will work together as we create colored pages so they can create putty art for those SEL moments.

The Dominoes will also create a calm game for them to play and learn math skills in a fun and engaging way.
