My Project

Please help give my students a new sensory tent as ours has ripped after years of wear and tear. My students love their tent and it will have to be thrown away soon. Its a safe place where they can calm down, and be with themselves. We place comforting items in the tent such as weighted animals, fidgets, soft blankets, and a projector.

My little learners deserve a quiet safe space to help manage their emotional and sensory needs!

This tent has proven to be the perfect way to help them achieve that!
