This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
Ms. Bonheur and Ms. Kearny are the Sped K3-5 teachers at NES. I am their Educational Aide. To serve our students better, they decided to combine the two classes in the larger classroom and use the second room as a sensory station where our students can go to take a break, relax, or "wiggle" when they are on sensory overload. Our children are bright, eager, and quite loveable. Some of the challenges that they have with focus and/or behavioral issues are minimalized when they are able to take a break and re-channel their energy. We want our sensory station to be warm, welcoming, and calm.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
