My Project

Sensory play is so important in early development. Sensory play promotes independent thinking, boosts cognitive skills, helps students understand the relationship of cause and effect and so much more!

I would love for my kindergarten students to have the ability to make discoveries through sensory play (with sensory bins and improve upon their fine motor skills while having fun!

So much of our school day is teacher led learning. It is so important to carve out time for students to make discoveries on their own, which is why sensory bins would be an incredible addition to our kindergarten classroom.
