My Project

I teach an incredible group of elementary students in a Life Skills classroom. My students are bright, curious, and full of joy, but they also have unique learning needs that require specialized materials to help them thrive. Hands-on activities, sensory play, and a clean environment are essential for their success.

In our classroom, we use a variety of sensory tools and cleaning supplies daily.

These items help my students stay engaged, comfortable, and safe. We are requesting wipes, playdough, and other sensory materials to support their learning and hygiene.

Wipes help us keep hands and surfaces clean, especially since many of our students need extra support with hygiene and daily routines.

Playdough is an excellent sensory tool that strengthens fine motor skills, encourages creativity, and provides a calming activity for students.

Other sensory materials like fidget tools, textured balls, and adaptive art supplies will help my students stay focused and engaged in learning.

These supplies will make a huge difference in our classroom by providing my students with the tools they need to explore, create, and learn in a safe and clean environment. Your support will help us maintain a space where every student can flourish and develop essential life skills in a fun and engaging way!

Every donation—big or small—brings us closer to providing the best learning experience for our students. Thank you for supporting our classroom and helping my students shine!
