Help me give my students supplies needed to work on a final poster project, Kinetic Sand to ease stress, and help students focus. Lastly, Cheetos as rewards for review games!

My student's passion for knowledge cannot be rivaled! What I love most about my students is their grit and determination to better themselves. Even though I teach social studies, we have been working on writing and critical thinking to find theories as to how the world has become the way it is. My students have made great strides in their reading levels as well as reading comprehension! I am very proud of them and can't wait to see how they improve this year!
My students don't often get to make large, in-depth posters that display their knowledge, creativity, and time management. This semester, I want my students to be fully prepared to demonstrate how much they have learned over the course of the year with a major theme project surround contributions of African Americans to American society. This is a topic that my students are very passionate about, and I want to make sure they have the supplies needed to knock this project out of the park! They will use the trifold poster boards to create a timeline of a prominent African American that we will talk about it class. It could be someone that inspires them, or someone they want to learn more about. Students will display their posters for Black History Month, and present to the class.
I will use the kinetic sand for students who need something to fidget with to help them concentrate in class.
Kinetic sand is also a makeshift stress reliever. Many of my students suffer from anxiety, especially test related, and this can help them feel more relaxed.
Lastly, my students LOVE Flamin' Hot Cheetos. I usually use Cheetos as a way to motivate my students into participating in various review games throughout the year. For example, while playing Quizlet Live, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd ranked students will receive a prize. First prize will be Cheetos! Having some food on hand will help motivating them during review games, and the final days of the year!
