My Project

The kindergarten and first graders that are in my CLS (Comprehensive Life Skills) program are very curious and improving on their social skills. I would like to get a variety of functional activities(Spinner-X Seated Spinner Sensory Toy, activity wall, etc.) that encourage students to interact with each other, talk together, and investigate new things. These activities will provide fun and engaging ways for my students to interact and see new things. When learning is fun, students are more willing to participate and take risks. My goal is that these activities will help my students build confidence and encourage them to choose engage and interact with others.
