My Project

My students love to explore, play, and make a mess, these new sensory materials will allow my students to just that with so many extra benefits that will promote age appropriate growth and learning within our classroom.

These materials will help promote fine motor skills, cognitive growth, support language development, encourages problem solving, fosters social interaction, and can have calming while they are playing.

My students will be able to utilize these materials thoughout our school day and will help them to practice and extend what is happening within our daily lessons and foster new learning opportunities.
