My Project

This project will help my 6th-12th grade students be more comfortable in class. Many of my students are sensory seekers and need wiggle cushions, pencil grips, fidgets, etc... to be successful in the classroom environment. We also work on life skills such as learning the value of money and math skills such as fractions. The students will use these items to be more successful with basic life and math skills. Items like Legos and Magna Tiles provide students free time that is also educational and they provide an opportunity for students to calm down if needed.
