My Project

My goal for this project is to provide students with essentials to support them with basic classroom needs in order to become more successful in the classroom.

These students come to school hungry each day and have very little money to buy items for school such as snacks and scissors.

The sand and trays will be used to provide sensory outlets for those that need this form of outlet daily.

The bean bags will allow them the ability to have flexible seating within the classroom. They can also use the bean bags as areas to rest on days when they are tired and were unable to sleep at home.
