My Project

My third-grade students are kind, curious, and eager to learn. They work hard every day and bring unique strengths and needs to our classroom. Some students benefit from calming tools that help them feel safe, regulated, and focused during the school day.

These weighted lap blankets provide gentle pressure that can reduce anxiety, improve concentration, and help students remain engaged during lessons, independent work, and testing.

They are especially helpful for children who need extra sensory support to feel comfortable and successful.

With your generosity, my students will have a comforting resource that helps them stay calm, build confidence, and do their very best learning each day.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
