My Project

We will be using the bins and materials to make sensory bins. We have chosen fall, winter, spring and holiday themed items to fill the sensory bins with new and engaging materials for each season and holiday. We hope to add these items to small group activities making new and creative ways to learn our letters, numbers, shapes colors and more.

Are they playing or are they learning?

Why not both? Sorting and fine motor practice will be involved each time the bins are being used but there are so many more possibilities of what the students can learn through play.
