My Project

As we have matriculated through the year, we have come to a place where some basic needs are needed! Our work is differentiated and we have come to notice that our students are at different places developmentally. We need resources that will address each students individual needs. Many of our students are not at a place where they can work independently and still need support. Using items that are laminated that allow them lots practice that move into routine has proved to be helpful in acquiring new skills. Additionally we need materials such as a room diffuser to mellow out some of the more rambunctious students. Providing a calming and dependable environment will encourage these students to be good learners and the amazing students they have developed to become.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
