If you walk into my classroom, you might observe my students in varying degrees of play, my students learn through play, Using manipulatives to learn to identify letters, trace letters, sort objects and count. My students have varying disabilities that impact their learning needs. As their teacher, I have learned that my students learn best through purposeful play and small group instructional. These educational materials that I am asking for such as the tactile letters, sensory exploration tubes, and file folder games create hands-on concrete learning experiences. My students are able to start gaining pre-tracing skills using tactile letters to explore the shape of the letter and finger trace. The sensory exploration tubes support my students' unique sensory needs while providing unique learning opportunities to engage with their letters and numbers. My goal for many of my students is to be able to identify and count from atleast 1 to 10 and to identify/state the letters of the alphabet. The students in my classroom are superheroes, despite their delays, they are motivated and happily come to school each day to engage and learn. It's my job to reach them and teach them, these materials will provide them with more hands-on learning experiences and allow them to engage in age-appropriate academic concepts.
