My Students

Our students belong to a small PreK-12 school, with small class sizes, and the opportunity to grow up with their classmates. Our school has a very close community that rallies behind our students. As a small school, one thing we do not have is a sensory room. Every student is unique in the ways they learn! All students can benefit from having a sensory room, this room will help provide a calming environment for all students to use at various times throughout the day.

Our students deserve the best, especially after last year, we need to give them a space where they can unwind.

My Project

In our school we have a space that is currently not being used, this space is perfect for a sensory room. A room where individual students can use along with entire classes!

The materials are perfect for a screen free brain break, where students can use gross motor, fine motor, and sensory exploration throughout their school day!

Specifically, the Liquid Tile Mats, the colors are bold and contrasting and they change color patterns. These mats stimulate sensory exploration and perceptual development. Our students live in the cold Minnesota climate, this space will provide a spot for classes during the winter months, the Riverstones, Flex Ball seats, and Moon Balls will be greatly used for this purpose.

The goal for the sensory room is to provide a space that is safe for emotion regulation, calming, and technology free.
