My Project

Engagement is the heartbeat of a thriving classroom, pulsating with the rhythm of active minds and inspired learners. Help provide students with a hands-on literacy and math learning materials to contribute to a fun, engaging learning community.

These items, including base ten place value manipulatives, scented dough, flash cards, and more, will encourage my scholars to be accountable for their learning through engagement and fun.

Different abilities, same emotion. Understanding, empathy, and love know no limits.

Your contributions will also help support emotional regulations when my students have big emotions and to help sustain their attention in the classroom. Engagement is not a one-size-fits-all; it's about tuning into the individual needs of every learner, embracing diversity, and celebrating progress. With your contributions of fidgets, stickers, and conversation cubes, I hope to do just that.

Thank you in advance.
