My Project

My students are the best of the best! They make me smile everyday and I appreciate the relationships we have with one another. I want to be able to give them all that they need to continue to have a successful year. Some of my students require extra movement due to their sensory needs. I want to be able to give them the option of flexible seating through the use of a rocking chair. Students can use it if needed for movement, for calming down, or just as a seating option in the classroom.

My students are also in need of some basic items we use on a daily basis and have used up already this year.

We are in need of highlighters, dry erase markers, and laminating sheets. The last item we are in need of is a pencil sharpener. Students have classroom jobs they complete weekly. One of those jobs is to sharper pencils for their classmates. We are in need of an electric pencil sharpener to allow this job to be more efficient.
