  • Not-So-Basic Basics

    Funded Oct 5, 2022

    Thank you so much to those who contributed to my project. All the bins that I received have been so clutch with keeping my classroom organized! I have been able to organize my worksheets by month, by letter, and by theme. It's so nice opening up my storage closet and knowing exactly where everything is!

    Also, since I don't have functional bulletin boards in my classroom but have lots of metal cabinets, the magnetic clips have been great with hanging up calendars and other pocket charts. The construction paper storage center is also amazing and makes it so much easier to grab the colors that I need for our crafts.

    Once again, thank you so much!!”

    With gratitude,

    Thank you so much to all who donated! As teachers, professional development is so important. We need to stay up-to-date on the current research so that we can continue to be effective teachers. Unfortunately, professional development can be expensive, which is why all your donations are so greatly appreciated! Thank you again!”

My students experience sensory overload on a daily basis; noises are too loud, lights are too bright, fabrics are too itchy. Being unable to properly process the world around them causes them to engage in socially unacceptable behaviors, which hinder their learning. Through the use of items such as BodySox, deep pressure sensory vests, and noise-canceling headphones, my students will be provided with an opportunity to learn the skills necessary to function in our world. Instead of aggressively attacking a peer because they were too loud, they can wear their noise-canceling headphones. Rather than running around the room and being unable to sit in a chair, they can wear their deep pressure sensory vest. Overall, these tools will help my students attend to tasks that can address their deficits. They can learn their letters, numbers, and colors; they can learn how to communicate their wants and needs and develop their fine motor skills.
