My Project

I hope that bringing a swing chair into the classroom will engage my sensory seeking students during classroom activities!

I also want to have a speech device of my own to help non-verbal students who don’t have access to a device of their own to have a way to communicate.

Some classrooms in my building don’t have the layout that allows space for a calming corner. The pop-up blackout tent I am looking to get is a great way to make anywhere in the classroom a calming place to be.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
