My Project

Sometimes students in our school need support with focus, emotional regulation, and organization throughout the day. They thrive when they have opportunities to express their feelings and engage with the sensory environment.

I created a calm-down space last year where students in the school can safely reset, reflect, and return ready to learn.

We need a bookcase for organization and some more sensory items.

These additional items will provide even more ways for students to release energy and regulate their bodies. The bookshelf will help it become more organized and make items easier to see and use.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
