My Project

My 2nd grade students are continuously working to improve their academic performance, especially in areas like reading fluency, comprehension, and overall classroom engagement. As young learners, they benefit greatly from an environment that supports not only their intellect development but also their emotional and sensory needs.

Sensory bins and sensory bubble fish lamp play a crucial role in creating that balanced environment.

These tools offer students a calming outlet to self-regulate, reduce anxiety, and refocus their energy - especially during transitions or challenging tasks. By supporting emotional well-being, these sensory resources help students return to learning with clearer mind and greater focus, ultimately allowing them to thrive academically and reach their full potential.
