My Project

The items we are requesting are items to help enhance our classroom learning environment. Our classroom needs items that can be used in our sensory table. The items listed help students explore learning through the hands-on experience of using the sensory table. Other items listed are for materials needed in our classroom. Our students can benefit from these items in sensory materials and art materials to engage in a multi-modal approach to learning. Our goals for this project are to have more age-appropriate toys, more sensory items in our classroom as well as items that support student learning. Our students are special because they all come from different backgrounds and are all at different levels of learning.
