My Project
My students are incredible learners with unique sensory needs. Many of them struggle with focus, anxiety, and overstimulation, which can make traditional learning environments challenging. With the right sensory tools, they can feel comfortable, engaged, and ready to learn.
I am requesting sensory items such as fidget tools, noise-canceling headphones, and flexible seating to help my students regulate their emotions, improve focus, and reduce stress.
These resources will create a calm, supportive classroom where they can thrive academically and socially. Sensory-friendly tools allow students to stay engaged, process information more effectively, and feel safe in their learning environment.
My goal is to provide a classroom that meets my students' diverse needs, ensuring that each child has the support necessary to succeed. These items will make a lasting impact by fostering confidence, independence, and a love for learning. With your support, I can create a space where every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
