Help me give my students sensory toys, fidgets, and games to help handle stressful situations.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Mcallister's classroom raised $286

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students come from a variety of backgrounds and diverse needs. They attend a community-based classroom that focus on daily living skills. Because they struggle with a range of learning disabilities and emotional disorders they need a way to destress. They love attending school and work really hard and I want them to have an environment they love and enjoy. The resources for this project include stress balls, fidgets, kinetic sand, and stress noodles which all are used to release stress throughout the day. Help me attain these resource to allow them to focus on their education.
