My Project

I love my unique learners, and this project will help them during meltdowns. Additionally, snacks will support them when they become hungry. For many of my students with unique learning needs, this project helps them grow academically and progress well at school. Most fidgets help students calm down and continue with classwork effectively. This project is helping them develop socially and become independent learners. Students will engage in different tasks using the toys—such as pretend play, cooking, and building—that will foster independence and support their learning. They will develop into independent learners.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
