Sensory tools play a crucial role in helping my students regulate their emotions, focus on tasks, and engage in learning. These resources will provide hands-on, interactive ways for them to explore new concepts, build fine motor skills, and develop self-regulation strategies. From fidget tools to sensory bins, each item will support their individual needs and help them thrive academically and socially. With these resources, my students will have the opportunity to learn in a way that best suits them, making the classroom a more inclusive and enjoyable space for all!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
