Goal

Our goal for this sensory room, is to create a dedicated sensory space that supports all students’ emotional regulation, focus, and well-being by providing tools and environments designed to meet diverse sensory needs. We want to build a safe and calming sensory space where students with diverse needs can take a moment to breathe, reset, and regain their emotional balance—allowing them to feel supported, understood, and ready to thrive in the classroom. Providing students with a safe and supportive space to manage their emotions helps them return to the classroom ready to learn, connect, and contribute in ways that benefit both themselves and their peers.

What will be done with my students

Through this grant, students will have access to a calm, supportive space designed to help them manage emotions, reduce stress, and refocus. The sensory room will include tools such as soft lighting, tactile materials, and calming activities that meet a range of sensory needs.

Students will visit the room as needed to take a short, structured break and practice self-regulation strategies with staff guidance. Over time, this space will help students build confidence, emotional awareness, and coping skills—allowing them to return to class ready to learn and contribute positively to the school community. 

 

Benefits to my students

The sensory room will benefit the entire school community by providing a safe, structured space for students to regulate their emotions and refocus before returning to class. This proactive approach helps reduce classroom disruptions, increase instructional time, and promote a calmer, more positive learning environment. It also supports teachers by offering an additional tool to address students’ emotional and behavioral needs effectively. Over time, the sensory room will foster a culture of empathy, inclusion, and emotional wellness that strengthens the overall school climate and enhances academic success for all students.
