Sensory & Behavior Management Tools

Help me give my students an environment that has sensory tools to self-regulate, a camera to take pictures of what they see, and other tools for classroom management. The wagon would be helpful to take materials outside.

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Hello everyone!

My Head Start students are very creative and have a lot of energy!

August 8, 2022, was their first day of school and they are super excited about their new classroom and teachers. They’re from the ages of 3-4 years old. They are the sweetest and cutest kids. My class is a diverse group of children who also have different learning styles. I would love to have tools in the classroom to help them self-regulate in moments of frustration or anger. The behavior tools will help my students learn new skills that will help them be active listeners.

I have also added a wagon to my list because we don’t have a playground. Our “playground” is a patio with grass and our storage unit is very small. The wagon will help us take more materials out during our outside time. The carts will help me organize the materials we will need for our small group activities. The other items are fun learning activities that will help my children learn in a fun way.

The camera will give my students the opportunity to explore technology and share their interests in a fun way.

Thank you for taking the time to read and donate to my class.
