My Students

My students are seen as outcasts in most people's eyes. My students are emotionally disturbed and also have behavioral struggles. My students seem like they are the "bad" kids and or the kids who "don't listen to anyone." Little do they know, my students are the most generous and loving kids. They love to help out me and the other teacher in the classroom, as well as around the school in any task.

Academics come hard to some of these students because of the trauma they have experienced in their lives, whether it's trauma from the home and or trauma from schools in the past.

My students learn best through play and hands-on activities. Learning through play and hands-on activities allows them to figure out tough situations in real-time to give them that skill inside of school, but also outside of school.

My Project

These materials will be used to conduct our social skills time, which gives our students time to learn how to play and share. These games will also teach my students how to use their critical thinking skills.

The snacks above will be used as a positive reinforcement as they do good with their behavior.

Also, help manage anger when it comes to being "hangry."

The fidget toys will also be available to the students so they can earn a treasure box for good behavior. The fidget toys will also be great for students with ADHD.
