New Ways of Learning!

Help me give my students fidgets to help assist their learning. Also, I need to update my classroom library with book series that my scholars asked for.

My Project

Our students are incredibly eager to learn. The way our classrooms look today is much different than they used to. Our students can stand, use alternate seating and utilize fidgets. This is a more equitable way of teaching and learning- which is my goal for ALL students. After years of Restorative Practice work I’m seeing amazing results! I’ve been asked by my scholars to update our classroom library with chapter book series. I’m excited that they are loving to read and know what they like! I would be so grateful to provide these items for my students.
