Wiggle It Just a Little Bit

Help me give my students sensory items to help them stay focused during instructional time.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Foster's classroom raised $310

This project is fully funded

My Project

This year I have some students with different sensory needs than in years past. I have some resources and materials for friends who need a little wiggle to stay focused, but we could use some other materials.

I'd love to have more sensory seating so that friends don't have to share.

This often causes some students to get dysregulated or anxious as they wait for their turn. It's hard to focus when your sensory needs aren't being met.

I will use these materials for my current students to ensure they are able to move, wiggle, and fidget when they need to self-regulate or focus.
