My Project

My students are incredible young people who work very hard every day to manage emotions, build confidence, and engage in learning despite the social, emotional, and behavioral challenges they face. In our therapeutic classroom, calm and comfort are essential for growth. The Big Joe beanbag chairs and crash pad will give students safe spaces to decompress and self-regulate. The weighted blanket will offer soothing sensory input, while therapy putty will help them strengthen focus and fine motor skills. Together, these tools will support emotional regulation, focus, and readiness to learn.

Ms. Anderson will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by February 24.
