My Students

I am currently working in a Title 1 school and am in need of learning toys for my kids. Most of the kids in my classroom are below poverty income rate and are deprived of the basic necessity. I am trying to provide them with a safe place within my classroom where they can learn and play. They deserve to be their age and play like they are 4 years old. Please help me raise funds to purchase educational toys for them.

Thank you!

My Project

These materials will allow my students to maintain a clam self while trying to engage in learning. These children have a rough lifestyle and I am trying to provide them with a clam environment within the classroom.

The materials that I choose for my classroom such as Chair Bands for Kids with Fidgety Feet and Sensory Toys Bundle will allow students to utilize the energy they have in the appropriate direction.

I have a ton of sensory toys as well as toys that allow children to keep moving their hand while sitting and participating in a learning task. I have a few kids in the classroom with ADHD and most of the toys in my cart are for these kids to stay engage and focused in the learning taking place in the classroom.
