My Project

Students use sensory materials for a variety of reasons and love them. Having a student use sand or water becomes a calming way of discovery and learning. We are wanting to update our space and ways to create calm by having yoga mats available for our students to use when we do yoga as a class and when they want to do so on their own.

Helping students identify and recognizing their feelings and find ways to become calm is a lifelong skill that will help as they continue learning in years to come.
