Help me give my students the tools to help manage their ever growing emotional needs with items like weighted lap pads and plush animals to provide comfort when needed.
The ever growing emotional needs of today's students are requiring more and more creative and various tools to meet the many demands. I work with special education children in various classrooms. The classroom teachers and I work closely together to provide proven and easy solutions to help keep the students in the classroom and learning.
My project will supply me and the classrooms I service with various tools to calm and refocus our students who struggle with learning and/or behavior difficulties.
There is so little we can control out of the classroom setting with our students, but to be able to provide them a source of comfort and various tools to get the most out of each day's learning opportunities, is priceless.
I would be so grateful to you if you are able to assist me in providing these items to our students who need the most help. Thank you for your consideration.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
