Hands-On Fun: Enriching Special Education with Play-Doh and Games!

Help me give my students games to play during their break time and social emotional learning groups. The playdoh will help build strength for writing while the students get to build and play.

My Project

When funded, this project will enhance my special education classroom by providing engaging games and Play-Doh that cater to the diverse needs of my students. The games will promote social interaction, teamwork, and fine motor skills, allowing students to learn through play. Play-Doh will serve as a versatile tool for creative expression, sensory exploration, and hands-on learning activities that reinforce important concepts. I will integrate these resources into daily lessons and break times, fostering an inclusive environment where every student can thrive, develop essential skills, and experience the joy of learning through play.
