My Project

In today's dynamic classroom environments, it's crucial to address the diverse needs of every student, especially those with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). As a math educator, I've observed firsthand the challenges that some of my IEP students face in managing their emotions, particularly when dealing with frustration and anger during math lessons. To address this critical need, I am launching the "EmpowerED: Anger Management Toys for Enhanced Emotional Learning" project on Donors Choose.The specific items I'm requesting, such as stress balls, fidget cubes, and sensory toys, will serve as invaluable tools in helping my students regulate their emotions and maintain focus during math instruction. These toys provide a tactile outlet for releasing tension and redirecting negative emotions, ultimately fostering a more conducive learning environment for all students.

By incorporating these resources into our classroom routine, I believe we can create a supportive and inclusive space where every student feels empowered to succeed academically and emotionally.

My goals for this project extend beyond simply addressing immediate challenges; I aim to cultivate lifelong skills in emotional regulation and self-management among my students. By equipping them with effective coping mechanisms and promoting a positive attitude towards learning, I hope to instill a sense of resilience and confidence that will serve them well beyond the confines of the classroom. What makes my students special is their unique set of strengths and challenges, each contributing to the rich tapestry of our classroom community. By recognizing and valuing their individuality, I am committed to providing tailored support that enables every student to reach their full potential, both academically and emotionally. Through the "EmpowerED" initiative, I am dedicated to nurturing a generation of resilient learners who are equipped to overcome obstacles and thrive in any environment.
