My Project

I want to create a calm and welcoming environment for my students. Calming tools and thoughtful classroom materials can transform our space where students feel safe, focused, and ready to learn.

Striving to fill my classroom with calming tools and sensory- friendly supplies to create a peaceful, focused haven where every student can thrive.

We would love to have additional options for lighting as some of my students do not respond well to the overhead lights. The curtains would block any materials not being used that would cause distractions. My students would benefit daily from using the dry erase markers and erasers. We love using whiteboards to show our knowledge! In addition to a calm environment, we also thrive to have a clean classroom. We would put the wipes, tissues, and hand sanitizer to good use! Bye bye germs!

My students are inquisitive and want to do their best! They are learning that when they are calm, cool, and collected they can be successful in anything! Thank you for donating and starting our year off right!
