My Project

The items in my cart will help me motivate students to stay focused, try their best, and have something to fidget with when needed. It will also help me allow options for seating, creativity with the playdough and sand, and all the prizes will help motivate my students. Gum has been researched to help students focus, and my students feel so special when I can do that for them. However, most of that comes from my pocket. I appreciate any donations for my classroom!
