Sensational Self on the Sensory Pathway!
Funded Dec 16, 2019
Thank you so much for your generous donation!
How excited we were to receive the funds to purchase vinyl to make our sensory path! The different bright colors and shapes of the vinyl enhances the children's visual learning and the ability to follow directions.
Our students have enjoyed using the sensory path daily. It is often the first thing they request to do! The opportunity the children have using it provides the stimulation of various input through running, jumping, pushing, balancing and hopping. The path also helps decrease the children's overstimulated behaviors by allowing a positive outlet so they can regroup and focus to return to the classroom back in control.
Thank you again for making this possible!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Haen
This classroom project was brought to life by Perry and Donna Golkin Family Foundation and 5 other donors.

My responsibility to the students is to help evaluate, assess and directly treat the child's strengths and weaknesses so they can learn and create to their highest potential in the classroom. Many of my students have a difficult time with their self-regulation. They are unable to sit for extended periods of time, making them miss out on learning opportunities. While there is movement for the students in the classroom such as desk to carpet and movement to other classes such as art or computers, it is not enough for my students. The sensory path will be made with colorful adhesive vinyl and inspirational motivational quotes that students will jump, walk, tip-toe and move their bodies so they can ready not only their bodies but their minds to return to their classroom eager to learn. Having the colorful vinyl and materials needed to create the sensory pathway will give the students the opportunity to engage in purposeful movement to help self-regulate and increase learning in the classroom.
