My Project

Hello Family and Friends,

I'm raising money for my student sensory corner.

It will benefit all of my students when they need access for calming activity. A classroom corner is beneficial because it gives students a calm, supportive space to regulate their emotions, reduce stress, and refocus. Which helps them to return to learning more ready, confidents, and engaged.

I have eight students in my classroom they are creative, energetic and would greatly benefit fort his sensory corner. with sensory brick table, sand tray and Slimysand. I'm a new teacher with limited supplies your donation will greatly appreciate.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
