My Project

My students are just beginning to learn how to work with objects that enhance their learning. These items will increase their retention by providing a hands on experience to learn basic skills. By providing the items for my students, I am creating engagement that will increase their desire to learn. My students are refining their fine and large motor skills and these objects combine those areas with learning. These students enjoy the luxury of choosing down time activities and one of their favorite activities is kinetic sand. Kentic sand encourages creativity.
