My Project

I plan to use the items to help meet the needs of my special education students. They are in need of some school supplies as well as some snacks and resources for sensory breaks with the fidgets and sensory items. I want to help my students meet with individual goals academically and socially.

My students need items that allow for movement such as the wiggle seat and fidget pencils to keep them engaged while they learn.

The wiggle seats and floor seat will allow students to move while learning. The markers, pencils, pencil toppers are supplies that will be used every day by my students so they can complete their assignments. The crackers, pop tarts, and fruit snacks will be used as incentives, rewards and necessary refreshments. The fidget toys, sensory bottles, chew necklaces, Squishies and other sensory items will be used for our sensory breaks.

My students work hard every day to manage their disabilities. They are superheroes!
