Chew on This

Help me give my students fun and interesting sensory experiences so they can learn their best

My Project

My kiddos have a wide variety of sensory needs and need some tools to help get those needs met! I have several students who just need to chew on something to help them stay focused. More students find that opening and closing toys with doors is just as much fun as opening and closing the teacher's drawers (and less annoying too!) Others need to see the world through a mirror to satisfy their curiosity.

Making sure my students get all of their unique sensory needs met helps then learn their best.

It helps to calm their bodies and minds so they can focus on the work they need to do.

I am also asking for a laminator to replace our broken one in the classroom to make fun and helpful visual tools, some art supplies to replenish our inventory, and a few books in our favorite series.
