Weighted Animals for the Weight of the World
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Luedeke's classroom raised $189
This project is fully funded
My Project
Hello! I teach students who have diverse abilities and unique needs. All of my students are identified for special education services and receive multiple therapies plus academics supports.
Help me give my students weighted stuffed animals for when they feel the weight of the world on their shoulders. This year my students are struggling with social emotional skills such as self regulation, calming strategies, and keeping hands to self. These Bumpas are special weighted stuffed animals designed to give you a hug when you are having a hard time. I would love to add these to my classroom as another self regulation tool for students to use.
