My Students

This year, I am teaching a self-contained K/1 class. So many things are needed to keep their interest and learning going. The students are diverse in their needs and demographics. They love learning and are eager to participate in activities. I would love to have hands-on activities and materials that will help them self-regulate, learn, and discover. They need engaging, hands-on activities to welcome and excite them every day.

My Project

With these materials, I can create learning centers, math centers, and sensory boxes! These materials will give my students countless hours of sensory play and experiences. Sensory play is important for kids and helps them self-regulate. Things like kinetic sand and puzzles help them learn not only vocabulary, self-regulation, turn-taking, and foundational skills but also make them excited about learning.

Learning foundational skills like reading and math can be hard for them, but these fun engaging activities will help them learn in a multisensory way.

The multisensory approach to learning helps us address many varied needs of this class.
