My Project

My classroom is full of bright, loving, and energetic students who are working hard to grow—not just academically, but emotionally and socially too. Many of them benefit from tools that help them manage their feelings, stay organized, and stay focused. That’s why I’ve carefully selected each item in this project to support those exact needs.

Before kids can learn, they need to feel safe, seen, and settled.

The Yacker Tracker Noise Detector gives students a visual cue to manage their voice levels and make mindful choices without constant reminders. This simple tool will help create a calmer, more focused environment.

Flexible seating options like comfy floor seats and yoga ball chairs will allow students to choose a learning space that fits their needs. These seats help kids stay comfortable, focused, and in control of their learning.

Calm Strips, fidget stones, and other SEL tools give students discreet ways to regulate their emotions—especially during transitions or independent work. These calming tools help reduce overwhelm and support focus.

To keep everything accessible and organized, I’ve included storage bins, carpet marker strips, and dry erase pockets. Supplies like pencils, crayons, and sanitizing wipes will help us stay prepared and healthy each day.

Fun, hands-on materials like brain-building games and recordable buzzers will make small group work more engaging while reinforcing teamwork and self-regulation.

Every item in this project supports our goal: a classroom where kids can feel calm, confident, and ready to learn. Thank you for helping make that possible!
