Comfort is Key to Learning!

Funded Feb 8, 2024

The resources my students and I received for this project were certainly nothing fancy, but they have made such a large impact, regardless. Adding the sensory fidgets has really helped my afternoon resource group be more productive. They are excited to grab a fidget or tub of putty and immediately get to work on their tasks. Using these resources has motivated them to get working quickly, and appropriately, so that they can continue to use them daily.

Aside from the sensory objects, we have also really enjoyed using the whiteboards and headphones. Many of my students have extra sensory needs, and having immediate access to headphones for their learning tasks has made things go so much smoother. The whiteboards have been a great option for my students who struggle with pencil and paper, and prefer the ease of a whiteboard and marker.

All of the resources, from the sensory items, to the storage bins and our fancy new pencil sharpener, have just made our day to day tasks easier and more enjoyable!”

With gratitude,
