My Project

My students are eager to learn and work. At times, they may have big emotions and extra energy that can make learning a challenge.

Sensory tools, such as Warmies, can make a big difference in a short amount of time to get students back on track with learning!

With less staff available and more students in need, a simple tool such as a warm stuffed animal or a vibrating neck pillow can help the students learn to relax independently in the classroom environment. Having a toolbox of sensory tools, gives students who have different needs the opportunity to have something that best supports them.
