  • Sensory Zen!

    Funded Feb 11, 2022

    With the use of the sensory materials my students were able to explore their sensory needs. They were used to calm and regulate the students as well as regulate impulses. The sensory materials were also used to distract and give students what they needed to sit and attend to the teacher. Use of fidget toys promoted creativity, encouraged recognition and discrimination of colors, shapes and textures and improved visual discrimination. My students were able to relieve stress and anxiety and helped with their school day.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Stephen

  • Exploration Through Light!

    Funded Mar 2, 2022

    Thank you so much for supporting my students this year! They will love to explore, learn and navigate new objects using the light table! It will be a great addition to our classroom! Supporting myself and my students means so much and I thank you for being so generous to us!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Stephen

Sensory items will be a great way to provide relief to the students in my classroom that are sensitive to touch, sound, sight and even certain textures. The light table will allow them to play and learn while also getting the sensory input they need from the light. The theraputty will help my students remain calm and provide the sensory experience they want! Sensory items, like stress balls and putty can help with fine motor skills and also help build vocabulary, which helps children to confidently interact with their world and their peers. Focus and attention in the classroom can be difficult for my students and these items will help increase concentration, reduce anxiety and allow children to attend for longer periods of time and focus on a task.
