My Project

Students often need things to help redirect their attention or keep them focused. Flexible seating is one of the many things to help do this. I want to give them several options including bouncy bands, wiggle seats and cushions to sit on the floor. I also want each student to have a sensory sticker for their desks. These are like figit devices with less distraction, because they can't be picked up and moved around. Also, I like when each student has their own whiteboard, this is a nice option other than pen and paper. It can be quite interactive. Lastly, I want a large protractor to teach geometry. I think it can help students better understand how a protractor works.
