Due to the pandemic, students are less likely to have the sensory stimulation they need to enhance their learning and comprehension when at home. At the Pre-k level, students are developing sensory system pathways that are essential to not only tactile learners, but develop many other skills needed to succeed in Pre-k and future academic endeavors. A four-bin sensory table and correlating sensory manipulatives will challenge students to engage in their learning and explore their creativity. A healthy sensory system helps children with social skills, language skills, self-control, and fine motor skills; these skills are desperately needed amid the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sensory bin activities introduce concepts of cause and effect, and problem solving. When students play with other students, sensory play can teach students how to share, negotiate, plan, and interact. We strive to improve these social skills in Pre-k. A lot of self-control is taught in sensory bin play. Students are learning boundaries, rules, and how to respect others. In addition, manipulating materials and small objects is great for strengthening little hands. They learn to apply the correct pressure when grasping objects. For tactile learners and those with sensory issues, textured manipulatives are very beneficial. During our class time at table centers, we have constructed sensory bins using any type of container we can find. Being able to purchase a four-bin sensory table and manipulatives will provide a designated area for our students to play with a purpose!
