Help me give my students sensory experiences to better meet their needs and to better engage them in learning.

My Project

My students come to school eager to learn, but many struggle to stay engaged when their sensory needs aren't met, leading to restlessness and overstimulation that makes focusing on lessons difficult. To help them self-regulate and thrive.

I am seeking funding for essential sensory tools, including flexible seating, sensory bins, fidget toys, and other engaging sensory materials.

These items will create a calm, inclusive environment where students can find the focus they need to grow academically and emotionally. By supporting this project, you are giving my students the tools to manage their energy, reduce anxiety, and feel truly comfortable in their classroom, allowing them to turn moments of frustration into successful learning opportunities.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
