My Project

Many of our students have returned from distance learning for over a year and need to have sensory items to help them focus and reduce anxiety. Many students are in need of stress relievers to use in the classroom to help keep them calm and focused. The stress relievers I have chosen are objects that will not interfere with the learning of those around them. Some items include slime, squishy figures, wands, and sensory balls.

Help give our classroom appropriate sensory items and incentives to encourage academic success in class.

Another thing that would help our students focus on work include, small simple incentives for their academic work. I would like to offer students bouncy balls, spinning tops, slap bracelets and bubbles. These simple incentives can be that extra boost towards their work completion.
