My Project

My students are some of the youngest learners in our school. Kindergarten students are still very much in the early stages of childhood. As they grow and learn how to deal with the stresses of being around so many peers and working with different people and different expectations, it's nice to be able to take a break and just have a moment to yourself.

These items can help my young learners calm their minds and their bodies while still being safe in the classroom.

Soft fidgets, even when thrown, are a lot less impactful than a spinner or fidget box. Kinetic sand and Legos help children connect with their sense of touch while also relieving mental and emotional stress. The items I am asking for are tactile and sensory focused. They will be used to in the classroom to help my students this year and my future students for many years to come.
