Sensational Sensory Outlets

Help me give my students sensory tools that will help them focus throughout our day.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Bailes's classroom raised $650

This project is fully funded

My Project

The following items will primarily help with helping kiddos with sensory needs and those with ADHD find an outlet. There are a lot of kiddos who need additional tools to help them focus throughout the regular school day. The wiggle seats, chairs, stools, etc. can help their bodies move without creating a distraction in the classroom. The fidgets can help their minds to focus during a lesson or activity. All of these tools have the potential to help these kiddos have a more successful day and should lessen anxiety, frustration, and hyperactivity.
