Building Our Happy Place!

Help me give my students each of these items that would not only help facilitate learning in our special education classroom but also support students in need of sensory input!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kuykendall's classroom raised $845

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our classroom is built to support the needs of all students and be a welcoming place to all types of learners! My students love all types of flexible seating, and all types of items they can build and create with! We have recently found the need for additional options of flexible seating and new building materials. These flexible seating options would be used during learning time to help support those students needing sensory input. All of the other items would be utilized in our calm-down corner. We would love to add each of these items to our classroom to continue making it a place where all students feel they can learn and come in times of need.
