My Project

My life skills program is growing by the day and so are my students! I am lucky to have my students from kindergarten through second grade but this means that their needs and interests change often!

Sensory bins, games, flexible seating, and lighting will help my students to continue to grow!

My students are working on social skills- sensory bins and games will help greatly with this! They will play games with peers to learn how to share, take turns, play appropriately, follow directions and so much more! The lighting will help to create a calm and relaxing environment for my students. Sometimes the school lights can be too overstimulating so the lamps will be very beneficial. The wiggly chairs will help students learn while getting their wiggles out!
