Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My students are three and four year old special education students with a need for sensory items to calm down, focus more, and take a break.

Using the bubbles, water letters, and kinetic sand for a break helps my students come back ready to learn.

I have a table for bubbles and a table for kinetic sand. The materials that I am asking for will help provide sensory fun. The bubble set allows for different types of wands to make bubbles, and the kinetic sand materials allows for molding, building objects, and squeezing.
