My Project
I teach a self-contained ESE K-2 class. All of my students have unique needs. The biggest need tends to be social emotional regulation. The weighted husky and beanbag chair will be used in my calm down corner.
We use manipulatives daily to help us understand what we are learning.
The magnetic money and number bonds are tools that will help with understanding and being able to show what we know.
We are located in Florida and recess time can be extremely hot. The 4-in-on game and magnetic gears will help us move during indoor recess time. They will also be used as a reward when we finish our work.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
