Multi-Sensory Learning

Help me give my students some multi-sensory learning tools to help with their English Language Arts, Math, and Social Emotional Learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Padello's classroom raised $806

My Project

This is my first year working as a Fully Self-Contained (FSC) SPED teacher, and within that time I have learned that my students learn best through a multi-sensory approach. This can include, but is not limited to, working hands-on with materials to help deepen their understanding, while also engaging their inquiry to help motivate my students to learn and stay engaged throughout the day, and much more! I am asking for snap build beads, sensory beads, calming tubes, crystal building blocks and other resources.

I want to ensure that my students are provided with tools and resources to help accommodate their learning needs and make our lessons fun for all content areas including ELA, Math, and Social Emotional Learning!
