FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mattoon's classroom raised $643

My Project

Have you ever noticed how much things like forgetting to put on deodorant or not being sure if you have enough sanitary pads to make it through the day affect your mood? Those emotions are only heightened in a middle school where kids aren't always nice and students are still figuring out their own bodies and needs.

Please help me to meet the physical, emotional, and sensory needs of my middle school students by supporting my classroom "needs bin" as well as sensory tool library so that students can focus on what is really important and help to clear their minds of all the other stuff.

Students will be better equipped to meet their learning goals after utilizing the Bouncy Bands, spot markers, snacks, wobble cushions, and more items from this project to meet their basic physical and sensory input needs. My goal for students is to do their best possible learning and your contributions will help me meet students needs and allow them to be at their best. Thank you so much!
