My Project

My students have unique challenges when it comes to staying focused, calm, and engaged. Sensory tools can make a world of difference by providing students with the resources they need to self-regulate, manage stress, and stay on task.

This project will bring sensory tools like fidget items, calming strips, weighted lap pads, and stress balls into our classroom to support students with sensory, attention, and emotional needs.

These tools will not only help individual students but will also contribute to a more inclusive environment where all learners feel supported and ready to succeed.

By giving students the opportunity to use sensory tools as needed, we can create a classroom that promotes focus, reduces anxiety, and encourages positive behaviors. These small but impactful resources will empower students to take charge of their learning in a way that works best for them.

Your generosity can help us create a classroom where every student has the tools they need to reach their full potential. Thank you for supporting our learners and helping us build a space where all students can thrive!
