Sensorize and Support!

Help me give my students the sensory stimulation items, incentive snacks, and support staff tools they will help them get a fresh start to the year!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Perla's classroom raised $166

This project is fully funded

My Students

Our learners are the highest needs students in the district that have support staff with them throughout their day. Staff need supplies to maintain efficient documentation in order to provide the best environment for our learners. We are asking for supplies for both students and their support staff to better serve them on a daily basis.

My Project

On a daily basis our students need extra help with staff support and self regulating items like sensory toys. The sensory items are to help with coping as we educate our learners with academics and help with social emotional skills. The closed clipboards are to protect student privacy while we document on a regular daily basis. Snacks like fruit roll ups area a great incentive for student to reach their goal and receive a healthy treat.

Help us to start fresh for the new year.

Thank you in advance for your support!

Ms. Perla Amanda C Rowe Elementary School Grades PreK-2
