We Need Your Help

Help me give my students options to release stress during the school day.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shelton's classroom raised $228

This project is fully funded

My Project

As the weather changes, as the schedules change, as “oops” days arise, as new new students enroll, as state wide testing approaches….. These are situations that arise within our classrooms. For students with unique and challenging needs, these and other scenarios make the day very difficult.

The goal for the project is to give students a way to way to cope and strive.

The dye free candy and the pencil chew toppers will allow oral motor needs to be met without adding harmful chemicals. The sensory pencil toppers, stretch balls, and more will give the students an outlet when they are struggling. My students are special simply because they are human beings. They are kind and love to help others.
