My Project

I work in an elementary school resource classroom and have many students with social emotional needs. All of my students are in special education and have areas of need. The Little Spot curriculum has been highly recommended and a high success rate. I would love to be able to offer this to my students to help build many different skills.

The gum and mints are to help students as reinforcements and evidence suggests that peppermint aroma can improve learning.

My students go through these quicker than I would have imagined but anything is worth it to help them learn and grow.

I am so excited to get started with The Little Spot and my students are too!
