My Project

The selected items will significantly enhance learning experiences for my students by supporting sensory engagement, creativity, and emotional development.Galaxy Putty Slime offers stress relief and helps students focus, particularly those who experience anxiety. Its tactile nature encourages exploration, which is vital for kinesthetic learners who benefit from hands-on activities.Magnetic Tiles serve as excellent STEM tools that promote critical thinking and problem-solving skills. As students build various structures, they not only develop creativity but also learn the importance of teamwork and collaboration during group projects.The Fidget Toy Set is designed to assist students with attention challenges by providing sensory tools that help manage anxiety and improve concentration. The variety of textures and mechanisms allows students to stay engaged and focused during lessons.LEGO City Go-Karts inspire imaginative play and introduce basic engineering principles. This hands-on activity encourages creativity, allowing students to express themselves while learning about design and mechanics.Emotion Plush Toys facilitate emotional learning by helping students articulate their feelings and develop empathy. These toys can be used during group discussions or individual reflection, promoting social skills and emotional intelligence.The primary goals of this project are to create a more inclusive learning environment that accommodates diverse needs, enhance emotional awareness, and promote hands-on learning experiences. My students are unique, with varied backgrounds and challenges, including anxiety and attention difficulties. They thrive in environments that encourage creativity and engagement. By providing these specific items, I aim to foster a supportive atmosphere where every student can feel valued and empowered to learn. This project not only addresses their educational needs but also nurtures their individual strengths, helping them grow academically and socially.
