Move, Wiggle, Focus: a Sensory-Friendly Environment

Help me give my students a flexible setting in which they can be bright, curious, and full of energy—many of them learn best when they can move, wiggle, or take a break in a calm, sensory-friendly space.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Aviles's classroom raised $541

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students are bright, curious, and full of energy—but many of them learn best when they can move, wiggle, or take a break in a calm, sensory-friendly space. In our classrooms, we celebrate different learning styles and understand that one size does not fit all. That's why we're seeking flexible seating options like wobble stools and floor cushions as well. These resources will help students who are sensory-seeking or need movement breaks to stay focused, regulated, and ready to learn.

These materials won’t just support academic success—they'll also promote emotional well-being and independence.

With your help, our classroom environment can become a more inclusive and responsive place where every child can thrive.
