Help me give my students the opportunity to grow their abilities to self-regulate and to also meet their individual sensory needs met. Emotions coin drop is a great tool to express emotions if a child is non-verbal.

My Project
Many of my students would benefit from having the expandable balls to help them regulate their breathing and calm their bodies when necessary. Having weighted bears is a great way to meet sensory needs, but also helps with those students missing their families.
Colored lighting can be beneficial to all of my with my students, but especially those who have certain visual impairments.
Squishy balls are a favorite with many of my students as a way to meet their sensory needs without disrupting their classrooms or others. They can also use them without drawing unwanted attention to themselves.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
