My Project

Aloha,

This project fills some gaps to provide resources for my special education preschool students.

Covid has had a large impact on our students, causing delays in small and large muscle development, communication, and social skills. The weighted lap animals and compression vest will give my students a sense of peace and calm in group instruction. The much needed plasma bike and climber will increase not only large muscle development opportunities, but also allow for many different social interactions with peers. The pencil weights and the pencil grips help to build much needed strength in hands to build a good foundation for writing.

Ms. Shana Waikoloa Elementary & Middle School Grades PreK-2
