Help me give my students a more calm and inviting quiet area. All children deserve to have a classroom that can support their sensory needs in a variety of ways.

My Project
Please help my children fill their quiet area with new and inviting sensory items. Comfortable seating, low lights, and fidget toys are crucial to encouraging a safe and calm classroom environment.
Having a place to calm and quiet a busy mind can be hugely impactful to children with various sensory needs.
With these materials, the children will have the ability to independently access sensory and calming items in their own classroom. This empowers children to regulate their emotions on their own, as well as helps make school an inviting place where they are free to explore and regulate their sensory needs daily.
More than half of students from low‑income households
