Sensory Explosion!

Help me give my students opportunities to work on their sensory concerns and fine motor skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Brandi's classroom raised $634

This project is fully funded

My Project

Aloha, I am a preschool special education teacher here in Hawaii. My students have fine motor and sensory concerns. They lack the strength and coordination in their hands to help them hold a pencil correctly, put things together/taking them apart, and/or have a hard time cutting with scissors. My students also have sensory concerns with texture. With all of these resources like a peg board, sensory sand, and magnetics objects, my students will gain the strength and confidence to be able to strengthen their fine motor (hands) and open their senses to be able to play with different types of textures.
