My Project

Our students have experienced stress during the recent natural disasters in our area. Tornadoes and other natural weather events have caused stress to our student population and community.

The wrist balls, fidget spinners, and other fun things will help students take their minds off of weather conditions.

We plan to use the carnival games, soaking booth, and strobe light as reward celebrations for students each month for positive behavior. This is also a place for students to have fun and decompress to take their minds off of the weather conditions. My students are special because every student deserves to be celebrated.
