My Project

Hi!

I work in a middle school with 8th grade students in a resource setting.

I am looking to better support their academic, social emotional and overall well being at school. I want to set them up with more success during the school day. These items that I am requesting will increase their ability to be able to regulate more during the school day if they have these items to reset and be more successful in the general education environment. My goal for this project is to better support my student in all areas and give them the materials they need to self regulate, deal with their emotions and activities that they can earn during the school day. My students are so special because they are great students who want to have the same opportunities as every other student. I am hoping to make their day with these purchases and further their development to set them up for the most success as they enter high school.

Thank you for your consideration,

Courtney.
