It is with great appreciation that I extend my gratitude to you for this rare and noble opportunity.
As an instructor to special needs students in grades 4 and 5, I face the challenge of keeping my students motivated and calm while ensuring that they remain engaged in their studies.
To address this challenge, I have instituted a program where I provide my students with snacks and toys as a means of motivation and engagement. Additionally, I employ a behavior chart that rewards students with snacks for good behavior. These incentives have been crucial in fostering a positive classroom environment and motivating my students to achieve their academic goals.
Furthermore, I have discovered that squishy toys can provide a calming effect on students who are experiencing anxiety or stress. By providing these toys, I have been able to help my students relax and refocus, leading to better learning outcomes.
Once again, I express my heartfelt gratitude for considering my request and for your unwavering support.
