Sensory Items for Kinders
Funded Jun 2, 2024Wow!! I am so thankful for all your help and kind contributions. The students in my classroom had an opportunity to use the new items during extended school year (summer school), and were very excited!!! The sensory items are being used in our break area (calming corner), during whole group instruction and small group instruction. Calming sensory tubes and the sensory spheres are used to help calm students and relax them during times of frustration or feeling overwhelmed. Sensory sand is being used to help build social skills, language skills, and is also very calming for students.
My curious learners are using the table top scissors and theraputty to build the fine motor strength. The scissors have been most helpful in allowing students to cut with some independence and build up confidence. The thereputty is a great fine motor workout that is very popular among our learners. The Smelly Markers are also very popular. The fun smells help motivate the students to use a variety of colors to draw/ color, which also builds up their fine motor skills.
The gamer chair is used as a calming tool and also an instructional tool. That chair allows some of my learners to stay in motion during instruction, decreasing their time out of their seat and away from the lesson. The chair has also worked wonders to help calm students who use rocking as a way to sooth themselves.
I look forward to this upcoming school year to see just how my students grow thanks to these wonderful items that you all helped provide.
God Bless!!”

Funded Jul 30, 2023It's from the bottom of my heart that I thank each and everyone of you. The contributions and awesome resources have enriched our classroom tremendously!!!
These cubbies have provided safe clean organization help for my students, and have helped teach them responsibility for their classroom items.
This is thanks to cubbies perfect size- the students to access puzzles, toys, chalk, and personal items.
My students were very excited to see the new furniture. They take good care of the cubbies.
The next steps for this project is to continue to fill it with items that the students are responsible to put away.”
