My Project

I have a multi-age Autism classroom and we have frequent monitored sensory breaks throughout the day. Our sensory toys don’t always last as long as we would like them to.

Please help me give my students new sensory items that they can use during their frequent monitored sensory breaks.

This will help them to regulate emotions and it helps with transitions throughout the day.

Not only are our sensory breaks an important part of our day, but my students absolutely have to have snack. Snacks are also used for positive reinforcement.

Mrs. Livas C.H. Gullatt Elementary School Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
