My Students

My students are amazing first graders who love to have fun. They are very active and loveable students that need a variety of items to help them throughout the day. My students are smiling all day and enjoy coming to school. My students enjoy sensory breaks in between work time which is jumping on a trampoline, crawling through a tunnel, rolling on a seated scooter, seeing and feeling different textures. All of these things will help calm them and will increase their attention to the work.

To see the smiles on their faces when they are jumping or simply playing with sand brings joy to me.

My students are the reason why I smile throughout the day.

My Project

My students benefit from taking sensory breaks in between work time. When they take these breaks they are either jumping on a trampoline or playing in a sensory bin. These activities help decrease behaviors and increase their attention to the task. My students have a difficult time sitting for worktime so taking these breaks really help.

Every child loves to jump on a trampoline and get messy with paint.

Every child has a different way of learning, my students learn through hands-on activities. These items not only will allow them to have fun they will allow them to have a successful learning day. My students learn through play, please help them learn.
