My Project

Imagine a classroom where learning isn’t just about sitting still—it’s about movement, exploration, and hands-on fun! That’s exactly what my six incredible preschoolers with special needs need to thrive.

It’s about wiggling, squeezing, stacking, and giggling!

My students are bright, busy, and brimming with potential—they just need the right tools to help them learn in their own unique way! Some need movement to focus, some need sensory input to feel calm, and all of them learn best through hands-on, play-based experiences. That’s why I’m excited to bring in materials that will transform our classroom into a fun, sensory-friendly, and interactive learning space!

The wobble chair will help my wiggly friends stay engaged while learning. Sensory fidgets, squishy toys, and kinetic sand will provide calming, hands-on experiences to help regulate emotions. Magnetic tiles, counting pegs, and math manipulatives will make early learning fun and build confidence in problem-solving. Classic games like Hungry Hungry Hippos and Twister will teach teamwork, turn-taking, and social skills in a playful way. And of course, snacks will keep little tummies happy so growing minds can stay focused!

My goal is simple: to create a classroom where my students feel safe, engaged, and excited to learn! With your support, these materials will help my little learners wiggle, explore, create, and succeed—one squish, snap, and giggle at a time! Thank you for believing in my students and helping them shine!
