Sensory Safari

Help me give my students the supplies needed for a fun, academic extended school year program.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Norton's classroom raised $195

This project is fully funded

My Project

The Extended School Year (ESY) is a critical educational service, especially for students with special needs. Its purpose is to prevent regression of skills during long school breaks and ensure consistent progress on IEP (Individualized Education Program) goals.

This year's theme is "Sensory Safari".

A "Sensory Safari" is an engaging and therapeutic way to provide multi-sensory experiences. It's especially beneficial for students with sensory processing challenges, autism spectrum disorder, or developmental delays. The safari theme makes learning fun while offering tactile, auditory, visual, olfactory, and movement-based experiences.

Supplies such as crafts and bulletin board supplies are desperately needed.
