My Project

Please help bring my students a fun sensory experience. Different textures help students to calm and self soothe. Sensory bins provide a fun fine motor learning experience and allows children to practice skills without realizing they are working and learning.

Many of my students need work with fine motor skills because they are so young and many have special needs.

Developing fine motor skills helps students pencil grip while writing.

We spend a good amount of time using table bins to work on skills and the kinetic sand is one of the choices. Students love table bin work time.
