The Sensory Project!

Help me give my students sensory and social/emotional fidget objects, Kleenex and snacks.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Alexis Johnson's classroom raised $491

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our students are individually unique. The students inspire me each day to come in and make a difference. I love that they want to be involved in their academic career plans. Also, the students are vocal and knowledgeable about mental/emotional health issues. The fidget objects would help the students when they are not focused in the classroom. The fidget objects help students who may experience ADHD, anxiety or students who may have a hard time concentrating and staying on task. The snacks will provide an opportunity to start talking points during individual and group student sessions. Also, for students who are hungry and need a little snack until lunch time.
