My Project

I plan to utilizes this material in my classroom to offer a hands-on learning experience to all students in my classroom. My hope is to utilized the sensory fillers in our classroom sensory bin. I think that the bright colors will allow my students to further their knowledge through a hands on experience.

I am looking to incorporate the fine motor building activities in our morning bins each mornings.

Our students complete a task each morning to get their learning ready and to focus on the lessons ahead. The building blocks will allow my students to gear up for the learning ahead while completing a self motivated learning activity.

Lastly, I am hoping to make an advancement in my classroom by adding an art easel to our classroom free choice time. This will allow students to guide their own learning and self direct their own learning opportunities through a true artist experience. This will connect to all types of learners and allow my students the opportunity to express themselves.

Ms. Nicolini will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 26.
