Focused Minds: Tools for Calm and Connection

Help me give my students sensory walls and weighted vests to enhance learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Comeau's classroom raised $387

This project is fully funded

My Project

I love my students’ unique personalities, creativity, and resilience. Many face challenges with focus and sensory sensitivities, but they approach each day with determination. These students are special because of their perseverance and the joy they find in small victories, despite the obstacles they face.

The sensory activity wall and weighted vests will help them self-regulate and stay focused.

The sensory wall offers calming activities, while the weighted vests provide deep pressure input, helping students feel grounded. My goal is to provide tools that support their sensory needs, enhancing their learning and confidence.
