My Project

These items will help provide a safe, inviting space where students can cool down, get basic needs met (hygiene, snacks, books classroom decorations), and be rewarded for demonstrating positive behaviors. Prizes can help motivate students with challenging behaviors or those struggling with learning to give their best effort when working with me.

My goal to to create an environment that is safe and comfortable for students, provide calming tools and SEL learning experiences, as well as fun and exciting options to motivate students.

Items in this project will go far to ensure that these students are set up for success and that their hard work is acknowledged.

Thank you for being so supportive!
