These materials will provide appropriate learning tools for my students. Sensory experiences help my students focus and regulate their emotions in order to learn. Wobble cushions and seat bands will allow students to wiggle in their seats while learning. Wobble cushions can also be used to create a space to learn on the floor. Throughout the day, my students require breaks when the environment may become overstimulating. An activity mat will allow my students to relax on a soft and safe space in the classroom. Thera-putty helps strengthen little hands, which some of my students need in order to be successful in writing and other fine-motor tasks. My students love using dry erase markers for writing, solving math problems or simply creating. Markers that erase easily allow students to make mistakes without becoming frustrated. This allows for endless learning opportunities. Lastly, a weighted turtle toy will help students feel safe providing sensory input for learning, communicating and playing. Thank you for taking the time to learn about my project!
