Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Our students come from diverse backgrounds. They have special needs and have a very difficult time focusing on classroom related activities and socializing with their peers. Our students will benefit from a variety of sensory simulating toys/tools to help redirect them to school-based functional tasks.

These materials will help improve their fine motor skills in order to write and color.

These sensory activities will help them attend and focus as well as expose them to different play activities with their peers. Our students love to play and explore their environment and we encourage it!
