Mrs. Hawkinson’s Classroom Edit display name

If my project is funded, my classroom will become more student-centered and my special education students will have the opportunity to learn in an environment that encourages movement and celebrates their unique individuality. Together, we can increase productivity and educational impact, by allowing students to use as many senses as possible in their learning. Active kids chairs will improve student focus as they wiggle while they learn during independent and whole group learning opportunities. Many of my students seek sensory input. A hanging sensory swing and balance board will offer students a new way to regulate their sensory systems when they are needing additional sensory input. Many of my students struggle with their gross and fine motor skills. River stones, a balance board, and sand paper letters will help students with motor skills and will be additional supports for my sensory seeking students. This project will allow them to reach their potential and increase their love of learning. My goal in this project is to give my students the best educational opportunity that I can. I believe that these tools will help students reach their goals in a multi-sensory, tactile environment.
