Learning Tools to Unlock Potential in Every Child

Help me give my students these sensory gel floor tiles as they will help students self-regulate, manage stress, and stay focused, and will create a more supportive and effective learning environment.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

What I love most about my students is their curiosity, determination, and the joy they bring to learning. Each day, they come to school ready to learn, even when faced with academic or emotional challenges. Each student I work with has unique strengths, and watching them grow and overcome challenges is very inspiring. Their determination makes every day rewarding.

The resources in this project are carefully chosen to support both their academic and social-emotional growth.

Tools like the sensory gel floor tiles will help students self-regulate and stay calm, creating a classroom environment where they can focus and feel safe. Other materials will be used to provide differentiated instruction in reading and math, helping students meet their individualized IEP goals at their own pace.

Every resource in this project will help create a more supportive and engaging space where my students can thrive. Thank you!
