My Project

With the requested materials, I hope to have sensory bin materials for my students to explore and learn with during our independent practice learning time. It is so important for Kindergartners to learn in a developmentally and age appropriate way. I am asking for a wide variety of themed sensory for students to explore as needed. These sensory bins will go a long with each of our science unit themes. I will explore each activity with my students as a class, teach them how to use the materials appropriately and respectfully, and have them available for their use during independent practice.

Learning should be fun and engaging for all students!

The materials in this project will support students in being able to explore materials in an engaging manner. These materials will help make learning fun and engaging for the many levels of students in our classroom. I am excited to make learning more engaging and fun for my students. Thank you for your support!
