My Project

To keep my students excited about learning, surprise incentives work like magic! The unexpected little squishy or pencil topper makes students feel welcomed, loved, and safe, especially during district assessments or state testing.

A surprise little 'friend' to calm nervous energy is always greatly appreciated!

My students love having manipulatives and incorporating them into our lessons by giving them French names.

Students can be impacted by stress in the community, at home, and school. And because of this, their social-emotional needs and sense of safety impact their focus and motivation for academic growth. Squishies to the rescue!
