My Project

The specific items I am requesting, including bouncy bands for chairs, folders for fluency foundations packets, a crate to transport library books, fidget toys, and a dice for decision-making, will significantly enhance my students' learning environment. The bouncy bands will provide an outlet for students who need to move while remaining engaged in their work, allowing them to focus better. Folders for fluency foundations packets will help keep materials organized, ensuring that each student can easily access the resources they need to improve their skills. The crate for transporting library books will allow us to keep our classroom library organized and make it easier for students to select and return books on their own. Fidget toys will support students who need sensory input, helping them maintain focus, and the dice will encourage creativity and engagement in class activities, making learning feel more interactive and fun.

The goal of this project is to replace items that are frequently used in the classroom so that we can start the next year with new, effective tools.

These items are essential to creating a learning environment that fosters both academic growth and social-emotional well-being. By providing these materials, I aim to ensure my students can finish the year strong, with the resources they need to be successful.

My students are truly special because they are both smart and charismatic. Each one brings their own unique strengths to the classroom, and they thrive in an environment that nurtures creativity, movement, and organization. With these materials, I can better support their individual needs, helping them reach their full potential as learners and leaders.
