This is the first year our Pre-K class has been implemented at our school. As educators, we take pride in being pioneers of this new initiative; however, with the lack of materials, it hinders our ability to provide a quality Pre-K program to all students. We work collaboratively to make it possible, but feel our students could achieve so much more with the necessary tools. We want our students to be prepared and successful in their future school endeavors. This project will help my students interact with others, daily functioning and social and family relationships. This will also assist behavioral challenges, regulating emotions self-esteem and learning. Using these materials such as "What's Inside box?" which includes 10 sensory objects for my students to explore and feel using their sense of touch. In addition, the sensory stars beanbag set and the gel bead sensory shapes will help my students with touching various textures. The wobble cushion will assist students to focus while moving in their seat
