FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Matthews's classroom raised $365
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
This project provides essential comfort items to support my autism kindergarten students in regulating emotions, building social skills, and engaging in meaningful play. Baby dolls encourage nurturing and social interaction, while weighted toys and sensory socks offer calming sensory input. A dedicated calming area with break space pillows, visuals, and materials will give students a safe place to self-regulate when overwhelmed or upset. By incorporating these tools, I can create a supportive, inclusive environment where all learners feel secure, engaged, and ready to grow. Your support makes a lasting difference!
This classroom project was brought to life by An Anonymous Supporter
and one other donor.
