Sensory Fun for Everyone

Help me give my students the sensory supplies necessary to help them experience important sensory activities that will help enrich their academic learning through hands-on experiences.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hanson's classroom raised $300

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are preschool age, 3, 4, and 5 years old. Despite the many challenges they may face before coming to school, they are eager to explore and learn. The students are at-risk young children from various demographic factors, cultures, home environments, and low socioeconomic status. They are limited to educational experiences outside their homes. With creative and meaningful activities, the students can show pride in their efforts. I want to provide them with developmentally appropriate experiences to develop their social skills, fine and gross motor skills, and problem-solving skills.

My Project

My students love sensory play experiences! In our classroom right now, we find it necessary to promote vital sensory experiences. These items will help to increase sensory experiences for the students during their center time. The items will help students engage in hands-on learning experiences and give them a way to explore while using the sensory supplies, fidgets, and activities. These learning items such as kinetic sand and sensory tubes are great discovery tools. I will integrate alphabet knowledge and number play into the kinetic sand play such as by having the students dig for letters and numbers. Kinetic sand materials are easily changed to keep my students engaged and motivated.
