Refocusing Ms. Steely's Classroom

Help me give my students a fun and engaging classroom full of activities and flexible seating.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Steely's classroom raised $1,310

This project is fully funded

My Project

I work in a life skills setting with students from grades K-5. We need flexible seating options, fine motor activites, and engaging activities that help our children succeed in various aspects of the classroom!

A few goals we have... 1.

Give our classroom a facelift. 2. Add Flexible Seating options. 3. Find items/swings to help regulate my students. 3. Sensory items to fill sensory boxes for each child!

We would love to have each child have their own sensory box, filled with various sensory items. We need sensory boxes, fidgets, sand, and playdoh items to be put into their sensory boxes.
