My students come from many diverse homes. We have the highest number of languages spoken across the school district. We are located in an area where most people consider us a foreign country rather then part of the US.
My students are special and unique in their own ways however this brings many challenges to the way that they learn and function in the school setting.
This is particularly challenging with COVID. They do not have access to many materials and other things necessary to learn.
We are a free breakfast and lunch school. We are located just outside of a joint military base. We serve a high number of students who have parents in the military. The students are so eager to become active learners.
My Project
We all need to fidget sometimes. The perfect pencil makes you want to write more. Who doesn't love digging around in sensory sand like your own personal sandbox? No one either adult or child wants to be caught not focusing, writing properly, or digging around in the wrong places.
Every kid needs to fidget and pop its rule the school right now and mechanical pencils make you extra cool!
What can be better on a chilly day when it is so cold outside that you can't go out to play then pretending you are on the beach in a far away land playing in the sand and building.
I want to be able to help my student be excited about writing and learn to properly hold a pencil with the Papermate mechanical pencils. We all need to fidget and the fidget packs will make great tools in class and awesome prizes to work towards that can then be brought home. The sensory tubs will help my students with sensory issues work through these challenges in a safe and comfortable environment so that they can be successful learners. They also will help when it is -35 and we can't go out to recess and wish we were all somewhere warmer.
