Help Channel Big Feelings Through Sensory Objects

Help me give my students the opportunity to destress and channel their objects through sensory objects.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

At my school, our students are eager to learn by doing. We use an arts-infused curriculum to encourage self-exploration, build self-confidence, and increase social and emotional development.

I enjoy working with my students, because they are imaginative and eager to learn more about the world around them.

They have high energy and thrive on interactive student-focused learning experiences.

Seventy-five percent of our students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and 75% qualify for Head Start, Early Head Start, or state childcare subsidies. Eight-seven percent of our families are single-parent households. We partner with our students and families to provide a high quality early childhood education and resources to set them up for success.

My Project

We have an overwhelming lack of sensory objects in our room. Things that they can squeeze or use to destress would be so helpful. It's easy for some of our students to be overstimulated and these items would help them channel their big feelings.

This would help the children in our room be able to self soothe and calm themselves.

Being able to have more sensory items would help me be able to connect with the kids, and it would help the ones that aren't able to communicate as effectively advance in an environment catered to them.
