his teacher did to help Hayden succeed in 1st 

grade.

Hi! My name is Hayden. I have lots and lots of 

energy! Its hard for me to pay attention 

sometimes. My teacher, Ms. O, has found fun 

ways to calm me down, so I can learn. 

I love to work in a group. When I'm at my 

table I sit on a bumpy cushion, which uses my 

balance to sit still. Ms. O also tied a stretchy 

cord to my chair leg, so I can pull on it if my 

hands are feeling crazy. 

If it's too hard to stay focused at the table, I also 

have my own stand up desk. Across the legs is 

another stretchy cord, which I can kick with my 

feet. 

When it's time to learn during carpet time, I get 

my own special square. It's made of red tape 

and it's behind the rest of the students. Here, I 

can touch or distract anyone.

When I'm sitting in my square, I like to play with 

silly putty. I can stretch it or roll it, while 

listening to Ms.O. Sometimes it gets taken 

away, when I cant hold it the right way. 

I know it's important to raise my hand if I want 

to speak. I sometimes forget and Ms. O does a 

good job reminding me to do it.
