My Project

I would love to provide my students with stuffed Teddy Bears for a calm down corner environment. This is where they can go to regulate their emotions and feel secure. Once they feel socially and emotionally ready, their learning improves and they are able to focus on classroom instruction.

The teddy bears will function as silent reading partners so that students can practice vital reading skills.

With the added Math Skills Games and Literature Magnetic

Match-Up Games my students will find fun and enjoyment in learning new skills.

I want to help my students be successful academically. Furthermore, I want them to feel happy and emotionally secure in my classroom.
