Squeeze Seat, Storage Boxes, and a Little Classroom Peace

Help me give my students a sensory squeeze seat and storage boxes to support calming, organization, independence, and classroom routines.

Hope Mills, NC Grades 3-5

My Project

My students have different sensory needs, learning styles, and ways of feeling comfortable in the classroom.

Some students need a quiet, cozy space to help their bodies feel calm and ready to learn, while others need clear organization and predictable routines to feel successful.

The TED KANGAROO Sensory Soft Squeeze Seat will give students a calming seating option when they need sensory input, a break, or a supportive place to reset. The gentle squeeze and rocking design can help students feel more secure, regulated, and ready to return to learning.

The IRIS USA Board Game Storage Craft Organizer Boxes will help us organize classroom materials, task cards, visuals, adapted activities, sensory tools, and student work. Clear storage boxes will make it easier for students and adults to find what they need quickly and keep materials protected.

Together, these items will help our classroom feel calmer, more organized, and more supportive for students who need different tools to be successful.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
