Staying Focused for Assessments

Help me give my students sensory tools that will assist with completing academic tasks.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Smith's classroom raised $166

My Project

I love my middle school students! They are beginning to understand their needs and what tools they need in order to be successful in the school environment. They are vocal about what they want and new supplies are needed.

My students need sensory tools that will assist with test taking.

Students benefit from calm and quiet environments. I am requesting noise cancelling headphones so that students are able to block out auditory distractions as needed when working in the classroom. I am also requesting quiet fidgets (squishy stress balls) that students can use that will not cause a distraction to others.

Mrs. Smith South Charlotte Middle School Grades 6-8

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
