Crazy Aaron to the Rescue

Help me give my students these sensory toys to soothe and enhance focus!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. DeSino's classroom raised $183

My Project

Help me give my students Crazy Aaron's sensory toys for my classroom! Your donation to help me give my students these sensory toys would be appreciated and greatly enhance the learning experience in my classroom.

Sensory toys are an important tool for students who struggle with focus and attention, as they provide a physical outlet for restless energy.

Sensory toys in the classroom allow students to concentrate on the task at hand, leading to improved academic performance and a more positive learning experience. In addition, these sensory toys can also be helpful for students with anxiety and those who have difficulty regulating their emotions.
