Exploring Big Feelings With Our Little Hands

Help me give my students the chance to explore different senses and feelings with new social emotional toys.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Howard's classroom raised $171

This project is fully funded

My Project

The materials I am asking for will help my students explore different senses and talk about their feelings with the help of the social emotional toys. The goals of the project is to use the materials to expand on my students knowledge of different feelings and different textures and senses they can to discover when handling materials with different feels. My students are very special because they come in eager to learn every day. They still are very young so dealing with and expressing feelings are sometimes still tough for them.
