I love so many things about my students; their resiliency, their curiosity, their positive attitude, their excitement about the small things. I am lucky to work with children who have such a genuine wonder of the world. I also see them encounter some modern-day struggles, like anxious emotions.
I want to continue to create a classroom environment where my students feel encouraged and motivated even though there are many outside factors that affect this, where they know they are in a space that is calm and inviting, and where they can be creative and expressive.
These resources include things I know my students love as prizes for our sporadic classroom 'raffles' to boost motivation, calming oils for our classroom diffuser, clam strips to help students cope with anxious emotions, granola bars for students who stay after school for tutoring, coloring utensils for the many assignments we complete that include design and coloring, as well as games that early finishers can play (this is especially exciting for me to see students increasingly have interest choose a physical game to play with others as opposed to a computer game.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
