My Project

The school year goes by so fast! The items being requested are to freshen up my sensory area for my students to use. A large majority of my students use these items daily, if not several times in a day! I have a large number of students who need time to calm their body, mind, and senses. The items I'm requesting allow for my students to be creative and calm down while using sand, creating structures with blocks, solving a puzzle, and/or utilizing a fidget to regulate their senses. All of these materials provide them the opportunity to do this!
