Sensory Satisfaction

Help me give my students some flexible seating for another aesthetic in our classroom. Also, some sensory toys for when we need to calm down.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. VanDusen's classroom raised $422

My Project

My students are 5 years old and some students, this is their first introduction to school. Sensory toys help students focus when they are upset to give them a calm. These kids are learning tools to help them stay in a learning state of mind.

Flexible seating is also another avenue to give kids a calm place to learn.

The scoop chairs would go in my library where kids would relax and enjoy a book even if they cannot read the words. The experience will be pleasing.

The clipboards are for kids who want to learn from another place in the room where they would need a flat surface. The items whether they are sensory toys, flexible seating, or clipboards, these all will enhance a child’s experience in school.
