My Project

I admire my students' resilience, creativity, and determination. They inspire me every day with their willingness to overcome challenges and their desire to learn and grow. The cardstock will allow me to create colorful signs, passes, and visual tools that make our counseling space inviting and organized. Notepads will help me stay focused and write personal notes that encourage students and remind them to complete specific tasks.

Every resource in this project directly supports their success.

Fidgets will provide a quiet way for students to release energy, calm themselves, and focus. Additionally, a new chair will be available for students to sit in if they are taking a test or need to roll up to my desk for collaborative work.
