My Project
I am privileged to teach an extraordinary group of students in my elementary autism classroom. Each one of them possesses unique qualities that make our classroom a vibrant and dynamic learning environment. They are resilient, curious, and incredibly eager to explore the world around them, despite facing challenges related to communication and sensory processing.
In our classroom, creating a nurturing and inclusive space is paramount to our students' success.
That's why I'm reaching out to you today to request support for our project, "Comforting Spaces: Rug Enrichment for Children with Autism." This project aims to provide our students with a cozy and versatile rug that will significantly enhance their learning experience in several ways.
First and foremost, the rug will serve as a comforting and calming space for our students. Many of them find solace in soft textures and gentle sensory stimulation. Having a dedicated area with a plush rug will allow them to regulate their emotions more effectively, reducing stress and anxiety throughout the day.
Moreover, the rug will be a central hub for various learning activities and social interactions. From circle time discussions to group projects and sensory play, the rug will facilitate meaningful engagement and collaboration among our students. It will be a place where they can come together to learn, explore, and build lasting friendships.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
