My Project

The materials listed will greatly benefit the students in my classroom who need hands-on materials that are safe.

Safe materials typically have large parts, are soft, and are safe for independent use.

The materials I have listed are all safe for my students and can help to increase their fine motor skills.

We use manipulatives of varying colors to practice sorting. We use manipulatives of real-life objects to practice social skills and to connect to our social studies curriculum. We offer items like a sensory swing to provide safe breaks for our students so that they can recieve the sensory input needed to focus on tasks in the classroom.

We use velcro for many items to stay in place, stay organized, or present visuals to our students in the form of symbols, first-then boards, and visual schedules.
