My Project

This project aims to foster a more engaging, inclusive classroom. Donations of headphones, poster board, fidget toys, whiteboard markers, and snacks will directly address key student needs.

I am requesting these materials in order to support the whole child in my classroom.

Students cannot learn when their basic sensory needs are not met.

Headphones provide a crucial tool for focused learning, especially during individual work and online activities, minimizing distractions. Poster board and whiteboard markers enable collaborative projects and visual learning, essential for solidifying concepts.

Fidget toys are vital for students with sensory needs, promoting concentration and reducing anxiety, thus creating a more supportive atmosphere for all. Lastly, snacks combat mid-day slumps, ensuring students remain energized and attentive, maximizing their learning potential.

These resources will not only improve academic performance but also contribute to a more positive and productive classroom, empowering our students to succeed.
