My Project

My students are amazing! They are eager to learn and participate in new activities. However, they often have difficulty paying attention and have many sensory needs that I address throughout the day.

My students are 8 to 14 years old, but are all functioning below grade level.

All of my students have limited social skills and have significant language deficits in expressive, receptive, and pragmatic language skills. They need games and manipulatives to help engage them in learning and increasing language skills.

I am requesting sensory toys that will be used to increase my students visual and tactile experience to help them stay calm and engaged.

Ms. Desir PS 36K Grades 3-5
