Reading Rug and Sensory Cushions

Help me give my students a rug and sensory cushions to help in my special ed class.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Crump's classroom raised $467

This project is fully funded

My Project

The rug and sensory cushions are to help my students get comfort and focus in our reading groups. I teach students who have various special needs. The students struggle with reading and often are students who need movement incorporated into their learning environment. Sensory cushions help students have some wiggle motion while still staying seated. This allows them to have what they need without causing distractions.

My goal for this project is to have all or the majority of my students, able to maintain focus while participating in reading groups and/or activities so that they will be able to be more successful academically.

The students are unique and want to learn and I am all about finding better ways to help them achieve their academic goals.
