My Project

Help me purchase items to make sensory bins for my first grade students.

Morning work is a challenge in my classroom and I want to give my students something engaging to work on when they first arrive!

Sensory bins are a fun way to get the kids motivated to get to school on time, and ready to learn. Having items in the bins they want to play with will help get them engaged in the skills I am teaching. This is my number one goal for sensory bins in my classroom.
