My Students

My students are a mix of students with disabilities in elementary school. They are in my self-contained classroom. They're awesome! They give me the ability to give me the biggest smile every single day! This year I have students in all levels from Pre-K through 5th grade.

My Project

My students have a range of sensory needs. I am requesting a weighted vest, fidgets, visual schedules, calendars, and lamps to help my students focus and engage in class.

They are wonderful students who need just a little bit more tactile support to help regulate their sensory needs.

These materials will be used in my special education classroom. This is my first year on campus so these materials will come in handy now that my students will be physically back on campus. Thank you very much for supporting my classroom!
