My Project

My students are starting off their first year of 3k and really need a sensory center to help them strive. Sensory is very important at the age of 3. These kids are constantly learning and they are learning by touching and doing. These sensory materials can also help my special ed students by helping them cope with school, while they are learning the life long lessons of sharing, communicating and regulating their feelings! My children are coming into their first years of school, and they are scared. They need to get a hold of sensory materials to help them understand how to learn, share, and strengthen their skills. I also plan to utilize these materials to help the students cope with traumas they have experienced in the past or present.
