To help my students learn amid the pandemic, I could use items to aid my Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K) students toward self-regulation. Pre-K students learn best through play and interacting with their environment. My classroom is in desperate need of toys and sensory-based objects. The sensory-based objects will be used to create a sensory corner, or "calm down" corner. The pandemic has created a potentially unsafe environment for students to interact with each other. Sharing, taking turns, and other life skills such as cleaning or organizing have not been the primary focus due to health and safety concerns. Access to more of these tools would create more opportunities for my students to play and work on these skills while maintaining safe distancing guidelines. To make an upcoming unit of lessons more engaging, my students would love the use of sensory toys to help the lessons come alive. This year I have four students who have varying sensory needs along with the rest of my class who, like adults, need to take a break at times. We have been attempting to address these needs since the beginning of the school year with varied amounts of success. The items will be the missing piece to better assist the needs of my students. To bring my dream learning activity to life, I’d love to get more toys that aren’t necessarily educational, but aid in creating an environment where learning and peer engagement can take place. Research states that play helps with development of emotional regulation, incorporates physical activity, and provides numerous other cognitive benefits. When my students play, they refine their thresholds for different sensory information. This helps their brains create stronger connections to process and respond to external stimuli. These are vital skills as more children struggle with sensory needs than in the past.
