My Project

I've categorized the requested items into three essential categories: Engagement, Inclusion, and Trauma-Informed supplies. Engagement tools, exemplified by the inclusion of smelly markers, serve to captivate students' attention and enhance their involvement in learning activities. Inclusion resources, such as flexible seating options, ensure that every student feels comfortable and supported, fostering a sense of belonging in the classroom community. Lastly, Trauma-Informed materials like bubbles and timers provide invaluable support for students navigating emotional challenges, allowing them to regulate their emotions and feel secure in their learning environment.

Returning to the classroom after serving as a behavior specialist for the district, I am keenly aware of the diverse needs of my students.

By equipping my classroom with these tools, I aim to create a nurturing and empowering learning environment that caters to the unique needs of all learners, setting them up for success academically, emotionally, and socially.

Grades 3-5
