Sensory and Self-Regulation

Help me give my students materials for much need sensory and self-regulation.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ekey's classroom raised $311

This project is fully funded

My Project

We have an energetic group of 17 preschoolers. They come to school each day eager to learn and develop healthy relationships with each other. Our program is income based so all the children come from single to no-income homes.

Sensory and self-regulation are so Important!

Our sensory materials are becoming used and we are needing to replace broken materials. Preschoolers are learning to self-regulate and most of the time they need a sensory outlet to do that. I am looking to provide new sensory opportunities that are engaging and give us learning opportunities along the way.
