My Project
My kindergarten classroom is full of bright, joyful, and curious learners who each bring something special to our school family. Many of my students receive special education services and benefit from additional support with emotional regulation, sensory processing, and social skills. These children are eager to learn and thrive best when given the tools to feel safe, calm, and in control of their bodies and emotions.
My goal is to create a dedicated sensory room — a peaceful, inviting space where students can visit to regulate their emotions, reset when overwhelmed, or simply take a sensory break to refocus for learning.
My goal is to create a dedicated sensory room — a peaceful, inviting space where students can visit to regulate their emotions, reset when overwhelmed, or simply take a sensory break to refocus for learning.
This project will provide essential sensory materials and furnishings to design a multisensory room tailored to the needs of early elementary students with disabilities. The items I'm requesting include:
Sensory tools (fidget kits, tactile tiles, textured pillows, bubble tubes, and liquid floor tiles) to provide calming or stimulating input
Cozy furniture (yoga mats, and a canopy tent) to support comfort and relaxation
The sound machines to minimize distractions and auditory overload
Many of my students struggle with sensory processing challenges, anxiety, or attention deficits. A sensory room will give them a safe and structured place to meet their individual needs in a proactive, positive way — rather than reacting to sensory overload in the classroom. This space will help my students feel seen, valued, and empowered to learn at their best.
