Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Our goals are to make the behavior break room a better sensory experience. Our break room is down to a handful of pop-its and 6 containers of mostly dried out playdoh. Replenishing the fidget toys and available activities will give our students a stress free break.

We are also asking for additional light covers.

Our classroom currently has 4, but they have not done enough to block out the harsh fluorescent lighting in our room. We would like to be able to dim the lights even more when or students with sensory needs come to take a break.
