My PreK students come into the school year excited, nervous, and worried. They can't wait to come to school but they're sad they left their family and toys at home. Some have never needed to share before and navigating a classroom with 15 new friends can be very challenging.
Gross-motor and social-emotional materials and activities will help ease the transition from home to school.
Many young children don't yet know how to identify and regulate their own emotions. Sensory experiences including balancing activities, sensory bottles, path decals, and painting will provide children an outlet to deal with their big feelings in a healthy and sustainable way.
