My Project

My students are curious, energetic, and creative learners who thrive when given opportunities to explore the world through hands-on activities. They love to learn by touching, building, and experimenting, and they are always eager to engage in activities that stimulate their senses and spark their imaginations. Many of my students are young and benefit greatly from sensory experiences that help develop their fine motor skills, social-emotional growth, and cognitive abilities.

I am requesting a sensory table and Play-Doh tools to create a hands-on, interactive learning space for my students.

The sensory table will allow my students to explore different textures, practice problem-solving, and engage in imaginative play. The Play-Doh tools will provide opportunities to strengthen fine motor skills while encouraging creativity.

Sensory play is more than just fun—it’s a critical part of early childhood development. Activities like manipulating Play-Doh, scooping materials in a sensory table, or creating mini-worlds help children develop coordination, focus, and communication skills. The tools and table I’m requesting will also allow my students to work collaboratively, fostering teamwork and peer interaction.
