  • Learning Through a Multisensory Learning Experience

    Funded May 7, 2021

    Our new resources have allowed my students to learn through a multi sensory approach. When doing a unit on animals, for example, the students created adorable sun catchers with all the materials readily available at their finger tips. The supplies were preprepared and the directions were easy to follow. This brought the learning alive in a hands on way and allowed for creativity.

    The students were excited when they had a chance to use materials that tapped into their need for sensory input. For example, the foam molding texture felt soothing and helped students to use it as a means to refocus or become more calm when they felt frustrated.

    For my next project, I'd like to continue to provide students with an opportunity to make learning fun through hands on experiences. By having the proper materials available, I will be enabled to make this dream a reality!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Max
