My Project

Our classroom is filled with curious and enthusiastic learners who thrive when given the right tools and support.

Many of our students benefit from sensory activities to help them focus and stay calm, while others are motivated by small incentives that celebrate their achievements.

With your generous support, we can create a more engaging and supportive environment that meets the diverse needs of all our students.

We are requesting a variety of squishy toys and sensory items that students can use during lessons and independent work time. These items will help students manage stress, stay focused, and engage more deeply in their learning. Additionally, we will use small incentives such personal squishies, rubber ducks, and other fun items to celebrate student achievements and encourage positive behavior.

Sensory-friendly squishy toys and incentives will have a significant impact on our classroom environment. By providing students with tools to manage their sensory needs, we can help them stay calm, focused, and ready to learn. The incentives will motivate students to strive for their best, creating a positive and encouraging atmosphere. With your support, we can make our classroom a place where every student feels valued and empowered to succeed.

Thank you for considering our project! Your generosity will make a world of difference in the lives of our students. Together, we can create a classroom where every child has the tools they need to thrive. Please help us bring sensory-friendly squishy toys and incentives to our amazing students!
