Help me give my students sensory tools, such as stress balls and fidgets, and student rewards to help my amazing kids focus, succeed, and feel celebrated every day.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Hi, I'm currently teaching a 6th-grade special education class at TMS through the end of the year. I’m working with an incredible group of students who benefit greatly from sensory tools that help them stay focused, manage their emotions, and fully engage in learning throughout the day.
To further support their growth, I’m also hoping to provide small rewards and incentives to encourage positive behavior, motivate participation, and celebrate their hard work during both class and after-school activities.
I’ve been purchasing most materials on my own, but I would truly appreciate any support from the community to help create a more engaging and supportive learning environment. Every bit makes a difference—thank you so much!
