Calming, Cozy Corner

Help me give my students calming, soothing, sensory tools for our cozy corner.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Zieba Czajkowski's classroom raised $308

This project is fully funded

My Project

My second-grade classroom is full of bright, curious, and energetic learners who thrive when their sensory needs are met. Many of my students benefit from sensory supports to help them stay focused, regulate emotions, and feel calm throughout the day.

I am requesting a variety of sensory tools such as fidget items, weighted stuffies, and squishies.

These tools will help students who struggle with attention, anxiety, or sensory processing to better engage with learning. Whether it’s squeezing a stress ball during a reading lesson or using a holding a weighted stuffy on their lap during writing time, these items will provide students with safe, effective ways to manage their energy and emotions.

Every child learns differently—and having the right sensory tools can make a big difference in helping students feel confident, comfortable, and ready to learn. With your support, we can create a more inclusive and supportive classroom environment for all learners.

Thank you for helping my students thrive!
