Helping My Little Learners Find Their Voice! Sensory Fun

Help me give my students visuals and games that will support their diverse learning with the help of the Scotch Themal Laminator so I can create communication icons for daily schedules, first/then boards and file folder games.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Alice's classroom raised $168

This project is fully funded

My Project

My class is made up of an amazing group of little learners!! I have an integrated preschool program with 8 community partners and 7 students with an IEP. In the morning session I have 3 and 4 year old students, in the afternoon session I have 4 and 5 year olds.

Many of my students have speech delays and need visuals to be successful in communicating.

All of my students are so young, visuals benefit all learners in the classroom to support new vocabulary development. The scotch laminator and pouches will allow me to create these visual materials that will be utilized throughout the program day! The lamination will make these materials durable and sustainable in young hands.

The sensory materials are SO needed in my calming area of the classroom. I have many students with behavioral needs that I support through therapeutic methods in this classroom nook. The Straw STEM building will benefit all students during our open learning time through independent and group exploration using their imagination as well as developing fine motor skills.
