Sensory Sparks: Exploration and Growth

Help me give my students a safe, sensory-friendly environment where my neurodivergent students can learn through exploration and play.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Taggart's classroom raised $769

This project is fully funded

My Project

My neurodivergent students thrive in environments that engage their senses and encourage hands-on exploration.

The sensory toys such as the cars, sensory bins, paint and more, will provide crucial tools for self-regulation, focus, and interactive learning, helping them absorb new concepts that fit their needs.

My goal is to create a safe, stimulating space where they can develop social, cognitive, and motor skills through play. Each of my students is wonderfully unique, bringing their own strengths and perspectives to the classroom. By supporting this project, you’re empowering them with the resources they need to learn, grow, and shine.
