My Project

I’m an ESE kindergarten teacher, and I’m lucky enough to work with a group of incredible students. Each one has unique needs, and it’s my mission to ensure they get the best possible education. In order to do that, I must meet them where they are, and that means creating a sensory-friendly environment that stimulates and supports their learning styles.

I’m reaching out because my classroom is in need of sensory tools to help my students engage and thrive.

These items will assist them in focusing, calming, and fully immersing in the learning experience. From tactile toys to visual tools, each item plays a crucial role in helping my students feel confident and excited about learning.
