Sensory Items for Sensory Seeking Kids

Help me give my students sensory items to help them calm down with anxious, stressed or unregulated.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Bordine's classroom raised $398

This project is fully funded

My Project

The special education classrooms in our district have very little funding to support sensory items. that will be placed in calming corners throughout the school are all on my list of things you will be supporting. Sensory tubes, slime, and various other sensory items. We also need lights, and fidget toys.

Donating to this project will make a significant impact on the lives of 40-50 special education students, as well as many regular education students from low-income households.

It will allow me the opportunity to support classroom teachers, helping them to support their students in the ways they need to be supported.
