My Project

I work with students on individualized education plans with a wide variety of needs. I see small groups throughout the day for support in reading and social emotional needs, as well as providing a space where students can come and cool down or take a break from the general education classroom.

From fidgety learners to emotional regulation, the fidgets in my classroom get used daily.

Many are beginning to get worn down from use and are beginning to break. However these tools are vital to my students learning and success.
