I Sense We Are Ready to Learn

Help me give my students sensory materials to help them regulate their bodies and access the curriculum.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kalaclar's classroom raised $991

My Project

In order for my students to reach their full potential, we want to make sure that all of their needs are met, they feel safe and comfortable, and enjoy being at school. For many of my students it is difficult to attend to and access the curriculum because they are distracted; either by the classroom environment or by their own bodies.

We are looking for sensory busy boards, chews, and toys that will help with our busy bodies for sensory regulation!

We want to make sure our students can recognize and navigate through life by knowing how they feel and how to act on it in appropriate ways. We want them to know it's okay to feel emotions and how to manage them. We want to give them engaging and effective ways to regulate their energy and emotions. This is especially important with our students in kindergarten, because they are learning these skills for the first time.
