Sensory Magic & Learning Tools for Our Little Learners

Help me give my students sensory materials and manipulative to support their developmental growth, along with a laminator, printer and supplies to protect their work and create durable, reusable learning tools they can use again and again.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gacusan's classroom raised $605

My Project

I teach a group of energetic, curious, and creative early learners who thrive when given the chance to explore through hands-on experiences. Many of my students benefit from sensory support and structured, engaging activities that help them stay focused and feel safe in the classroom.

The sensory materials and manipulatives in this project will support their developmental needs by helping them regulate emotions, strengthen fine motor skills, and engage with learning in a meaningful way.

The printer and laminator will allow me to create durable, reusable resources—like visual schedules, learning games, and student work displays—that support both consistency and creativity in our daily routines.

Each of these tools will make our classroom more inclusive, engaging, and supportive of every child’s unique learning journey. Thank you for helping me build a space where every student can feel confident, calm, and capable.
