Calming Classroom with Sensory Needs

Help me give my students sensory items. I feel these items will help the students in my class excel.

My Project

I am requesting some items to help in my classroom with some kids that have some sensory needs. I would use the chew necklaces for those students that have some oral needs. I would use the weighted snake to help calm a certain student during circle time to allow them to sit on the carpet.

I would love to use the lamps to lower the light in the classroom to help create a calm atmosphere.

The expanding balls would be excellent to help teach the students how to take deep and calming breaths.

Thank you so much for helping me fulfill this project.
