My Project

For my students I want the place they come for resource services to be a clean, safe, exciting place to learn. The kinetic sand will allow my Kindergartens to explore their letter and number formations while having fun.

The dry erase markers will help all my students participate in their writing activities in an alternative exciting way.

The sensory cushions and wobble chair feet will help my students who have difficulties focusing and being on task. The snacks are for students to fuel their brains and get them ready to engage in their learning.
