My Project
The resources I’m requesting—bubbles—will make a significant difference in my students’ learning by providing a fun, engaging, and therapeutic sensory experience. Bubbles are an excellent tool for building fine motor skills, improving hand-eye coordination, and encouraging students to follow directions as they pop or chase them. For many of my students, who are often more sensory-seeking, bubbles can help focus attention, calm their minds, and support self-regulation, creating a positive and engaging learning environment.
The goal of this project is to foster sensory integration, increase social interaction, and promote emotional development.
Through bubble activities, students will practice turn-taking, communication, and collaboration, as they share in the joy of watching the bubbles float and pop. This project aims to help students develop motor skills, social skills, and a sense of achievement, all while engaging in playful, calming activities.
What makes my students special is their unique strengths, perspectives, and resilience. Each student has individual challenges, but they all bring something special to the classroom, whether it's their creative spirit, enthusiasm, or love for learning. These bubble activities will not only help them develop important skills but also encourage them to engage with each other in ways that bring joy and connection to their learning.
