My Project

My students are hard working 6th, 7th and 8th graders. They put forth their best effort in classes, but often need additional supports. I am asking for fidgets and snacks/rewards to support my learners to be their best, most prepared selves. Having snacks and stickers to reward their hard work will keep them focused when they need to be self directed. Being able to use fidgets helps students to keep their focus in classes where they may struggle otherwise.

This project will give my students storage bags for being organized, notebooks for writing and being successful as well as motivators to reward them for working independently.

Giving my students the tools they need will help them to get focused and prepared for their learning. Having these tools available to students also helps me to teach them to advocate for their needs and supports.
