My Students

Our school is one of 14 elementary schools in the largest school district in New Hampshire. We are a Title I school. Our students come from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds. Many of my students are English Language Learners as well as have a variety of Special Education Needs. Our school environment is a safe and happy place where we feel comfortable to learn without any obstacles getting in our way. Our classroom community is a group of motivated, excited, and curious learners.

My students are creative, thoughtful, and full of questions!

They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions!

My Project

Students have had a hard couple years. The Covid pandemic has forced their everyday lives to be jumbled and shaken up. They have missed appropriate social and emotional learning time with their peers. With weighted lap mats and mindfulness activities, my students can learn how to calm their hearts and bodies so they can focus on learning!

With these materials my students can begin to practice safe and reliable calming strategies that they will carry with them throughout their education.

I appreciate your consideration for my project and for my special students!
