My Project

Sensory rooms are a powerful resource to help improve the social, emotional, and mental well-being of students. Our school is lucky enough to have a sensory space, but that space needs materials. Materials that provide a variety of sensory stimuli to meet the unique individual needs of our students. It would be wonderful to expand our tactile experiences with Pluffle, Kinetic Sand, and Instant Snow, which encourage imaginative play and can be calming for many students. Materials such as magnetic tiles and Squigz foster creativity, providing opportunities for students to work together which can lead to new friendships. Equipment that provides an outlet for excess energy so that the brain can better focus during work time is needed. Giving kids the opportunity to hang from a trapeze, punch a punching bag, and challenge themselves to see how long they can rope skip will provide powerful joint input and enhance fitness which all help improve mental health. By providing these sensory experiences our students can 'move' forward with their learning and social/ emotional well-being.
