Sensory Learning

Help me give my students upgraded materials to enhance their learning- and love for art! Especially the liquid floor tiles would be great for sensory decoding!

My Project

This project specifically is for more books tailored towards their reading levels, so during centers or free time, they have the choice of practicing their reading skills. I wanted more art materials since they don't usually have the opportunity to make art during the week, and also materials that help them with sensory and headphones (because 5 iReady sounds at once can be distracting!). With the liquid tiles, I think it would be fun to use them as sensory materials for decoding and blending words, which are pivotal skills for this grade.
