FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. T. Brown's classroom raised $256

My Project
The requested items will create a more engaging and supportive learning environment for my students. Crayons encourage creativity and fine motor development, while nameplate display trays provide organization and a sense of ownership in the classroom. Sensory fidget tubes and rain tubes help students regulate emotions, reduce anxiety, and improve focus, making learning more accessible for all.
This project aims to foster a structured, inclusive space where students can express themselves, stay engaged, and develop essential skills.
By incorporating sensory tools and creative materials, I can better meet the diverse needs of my learners and ensure that every child has the support they need to succeed.
My students are special because they bring unique strengths, challenges, and perspectives to the classroom. Some need extra tools to help with focus and emotional regulation, while others thrive with hands-on and creative learning experiences. Their resilience and enthusiasm for learning inspire me to provide them with the best possible resources. With your support, I can create a classroom where every student feels valued, empowered, and ready to learn.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
