FULLY FUNDED! Ms. T.'s classroom raised $455

My Project

This project was made with our neuro-divergent kids in mind. The items on the list include basic recess sports equipment (soccer balls, basketballs, dodgeballs) for the students to use during their recess time. These items will help them bridge the gap and develop their social skills by forcing them to initiate play, parallel play, and take turns with others. The other materials requested on this list are meant to soothe the sensory needs of our students.

These items will offer my students a safe and engaging environment where they can self regulate and explore.

For children who face daily communication and sensory challenges, this kind of play opportunity is truly life-changing.

Ms. T. Martin L King Junior Elementary School Grades PreK-2
