My Project

I teach in a self-contained classroom; our room is pretty bare compared to what I would like it to be. I want to provide more sensory seating, toys, craft items to be able to fulfill my student's needs. Most of my students are non-verbal and have severe behaviors. I want to be able to make my classroom operate smoothly, and successfully.

All of the items that were in my wishlist, are things that would help improve my room tremendously.

I am requesting storage, Liquid Sensory Tiles and other sensory items, flexible sensory seating, STEM toys and other items that would help my students learn self-regulation at the same time as helping our room run more smoothly.
