Sensory Sensations

Help me give my students sensory items like fidget toys, timers, finger drawing pads, and an inflatable hammock to help create a more calm classroom during.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Edwards's classroom raised $197

My Project

The classes I see are filled with wonderful, excited learners. They love to come to STEM and do hands-on activities. Sometimes, though, the classroom becomes over-stimulating, and we need strategies to keep calm and work through overwhelming emotions.

The fidget toys, drawing pads, timers, and other materials will help my students self-regulate and regain their calm to be able to focus on STEM activities.

Timers can give a calculated amount of break time for those who need to pause in between parts of activities and assignments, and fidget toys keep hands busy and minds focused during instructions.

I want to set up my students for success, and helping them focus and keep from being overwhelmed is key.
