My Project

To support my students' literacy development and help them maintain focus in the classroom, I am requesting donations for literacy materials, including workbooks and worksheets, as well as fidget toys. These tools are essential for creating an engaging and effective learning environment that caters to their individual needs.

The literacy materials, such as workbooks and worksheets, will provide my students with structured and interactive resources to enhance their reading, writing, and comprehension skills.

These materials are designed to be engaging and accessible, helping students of all levels improve their literacy abilities.

The inclusion of fidget toys is equally important. Many of my students benefit from having something to occupy their hands, which helps them focus and process information better. Fidget toys can reduce anxiety, increase attention span, and improve overall classroom behavior, creating a more conducive learning environment.

My goals for these items are to improve students' literacy skills through the use of engaging and effective workbooks and worksheets, to support students' focus and attention in the classroom by providing fidget toys that help them manage their energy and anxiety and to create a balanced and supportive learning environment that caters to the diverse needs of my students.
