Help me give my students tennis balls for their chairs, tools such as markers, erasers, staples, organizational tool, timer, incentives and snacks to make learning more accessible, organized, and fun for these students.
My students are wonderfully unique, and I want to foster a classroom where they feel safe, supported, and happy. This project provides resources that directly impact their social-emotional well-being and learning.
These tools will help:
Tennis Balls for Chairs: Reducing noise creates a calmer, less stressful environment, aiding focus and reducing sensory overload.
Organizers: Order and structure reduce anxiety, promoting a sense of control and calm.
Timer: Predictable routines and time management reduce stress and build confidence.
Snacks: Addressing basic needs ensures students are comfortable and ready to learn, boosting mood.
Incentives: Positive reinforcement builds self-esteem and creates a joyful learning environment.
Markers and Erasers: creative expression is a healthy outlet, and erasers allow for risk free creative exploration.
By providing these resources, I aim to create a classroom where students feel secure, motivated, and happy. This will not only enhance their academic success but also nurture their social-emotional growth, creating a positive and supportive learning community.
More than half of students from low‑income households
