My Project

Hello, friends! I'm a dedicated first-grade teacher with a classroom full of energetic, curious learners. Each day, my students come to school eager to grow, but sometimes, big emotions can make it hard to focus and learn. That’s why I’m seeking your support to bring sensory tools and flexible furniture into our space to help my students regulate their emotions and thrive.

Many young learners are still developing the skills to manage their feelings, and having access to sensory tools like fidget items, wobble stools, weighted lap pads, and calming spaces can make all the difference.

These resources will provide my students with safe, constructive outlets to release energy, reduce anxiety, and build confidence in themselves as learners.

With your support, I can create a nurturing environment where my students feel empowered to self-regulate and return to their learning with focus and joy. Every child deserves to feel comfortable and supported in their classroom, and together, we can make that a reality.

Thank you so much for considering a donation to our classroom. Your kindness will have a lasting impact on my students' well-being and success.

Mrs. Greenwalt will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 25.
