Bean Bag Chair and iPad Cases

Help me give my students a bean bag chair for shared reading and iPad cases to protect communication devices.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gokey's classroom raised $542

My Project

My students are neurodivergent and sometimes need multiple options of flexible seating throughout their day. Having a bean bag chair is always helpful for calming and a place during shared reading to sit.

Promoting literacy and communication is my passion as a center-based special education teacher.

The iPad cases are for my students to be able to recognize their own communication device. They also are protective to prevent accidents from happening.

The sensory tubes were a hit with my students, so I added the color changing ones for more engagement and another tool to help calm.
