Motivational Learning

Help me give my students a comfortable learning environment that would help develop their cognitive, and social-emotional skills.

My Project

I'm a first-year teacher requesting help with creating a comfortable classroom, suitable for learning based on my students' needs. My classroom consists of different learning styles that require different coping techniques. Dealing with emotions is one of our major struggles in the classroom, the bubble machine, emotion spot, and express your feelings will help my students regulate emotions when asked to complete a assignment or task. My students enjoy play and depending on weather, mood, or behavior we are not always able to go outside. The trampoline, bowling toy, play sand, and modeling clay would allow my student to have appropriate indoor play when we cannot go outside. The area rug and beanbag chair will give my student a comfortable, sensory environment to sit and learn a lesson. The horse is for my student with cerebral palsy who is transitioning from a wheelchair to walking. Please, help me give my students a chance to learn and cope with assignments for the remaining of the school year. Thank You!
