My Project

Covid-19 has impacted students learning and exploration in the classroom. The materials I have chosen will allow my students to explore, build, and create with their hands and imaginations! Students are working on their fine motor skills, working on their communication skills and learning to be a share in our classroom.

The Magna-tiles, Playstix, Sensory Play Sand, Foam Sensory Paint, Dot Painters, Rubbing Crayons, and Sensory Plates will provide tactile experiences and educational exploration.

These activities will be a great addition to our classroom. My students will love these new opportunities!
