My Project
My students need sensory materials to start off the school year. My co teacher moved to another school and all the sensory materials we had in the class was hers.
Sensory materials help children focus and learn.
With the dough and kinetic sand the children can build muscle in their hands while feeling a sense of relaxation. All the fidget toys being requested such as the tubes and fidget animals help student focus during whole group meetings and book reads. The sensory tiles can be put in the quiet cube for added texture.
These materials will help make the school year successful from the start!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
