Meeting Students Where They Are

Help me give my students access to flexible seating and a calming area to allow them to regulate the emotions they are experiencing. Help me create reliable resources (laminating sheets) for my students to utilize on multiple occasions.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shook's classroom raised $412

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

My students try their best to navigate their emotions and make every effort to close the gap their learning disabilities create.

My goal with this project is to create welcoming spaces within my classroom to encourage learning and trying new things for students who are fearful of trying to do so in their general education classrooms.

This will be done with the use of flexible seating options and a classroom rug. In addition, having an accessible rug cleaned will help allow students to feel comfortable in the space that I have created for them to regulate their emotions. The laminating sheets will allow for the reuse of very impactful resources that are printed.

Please help me encourage students to find a love for reading and learning through these various items. My students are special in many different ways. They come into my classroom always excited to learn.
