Sensory path and Sensory Motor opprtunities allows students to take charge of their bodies and physical needs which can cause a block in their ability to learn. During the day the students will have the opportunity to choose a sensory task within the classroom which will provide them the needed stimulation to continue to function positively. Making sure students are comfortable and have the essential components to deal with their sensory needs within their learning environments will allow them to feel safe and comfortable which in turn will motivate them to achieve. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given the opportunity to take sensory breaks. They almost always make good choices, are more engaged, and get more work completed when they are provided the sensory break their minds and bodies are demanding.
My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given the opportunity for a sensory activity. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional sensory options, allowing them to make more effective learning choices. The vinyl stickers and stepping stones will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as gross motor strengthening activities! The variety of sensory options that I have selected will afford me the opportunity to meet many of the varying special needs within my classroom.
