My Project

I teach an incredible group of kindergarten students who learn best through hands-on, sensory-rich experiences. They are curious, creative, and full of energy, and I love watching them explore the world in their own unique ways.

Sensory play is essential for my students, as it helps them develop fine motor skills, social-emotional regulation, and cognitive growth.

The sensory bins and kinetic sand I am requesting will provide them with engaging, tactile experiences that promote learning through play. These materials will support their ability to explore textures, practice problem-solving, and strengthen their hand muscles—all while having fun!

This project aims to create a calming and stimulating learning environment where my students can thrive. Sensory play enhances their academic learning and helps them develop the self-regulation skills they need to succeed in school and beyond.

Each of my students is special in their way, and these sensory materials will allow them to explore and learn in a way that meets their individual needs. Your support will make a meaningful impact on their learning journey, helping them grow, explore, and succeed!
