My Project

No two students are the same. This is a motto that we always live by at Summit. Each of our students is unique and have unique needs. Some of our students have more sensory needs and some students have more energy than others. We are trying to help solve this by providing more tools to help them be successful in the classroom.

Each student deserves tools to help them be successful.

With the wiggle seats it often helps them stay in their seats and stay more alert during learning. The fidgets also help some students focus while we are reading or learning from a video.

We also like to use the STEM tools such as magnets and building toys to have a non-electronic option. It gives the students a chance to use their creative minds and work with other students to bring their ideas to life.

Thank you for supporting our classroom!
