Sensory Needs Explored

Help me give my students the tools that they need such as model play sand and magna tiles in order for them to explore their sensory needs to enhance their learning and support their academic and social-emotional growth.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Freudig's classroom raised $743

My Project

First grade is a unique time where students are learning to use their strengths in order to support their learning. However, there are many physical, social-emotional and physiological distractions that can take place.

The items of this project such as the Magna Tiles and Play Sand will help the students explore their sensory needs so that they can become ready to learn and soar high in their academic growth.

All students (and adults) need to have their sensory needs met before they can focus. This happens in a variety of ways. Having options for the students such as Play Sand, Magna Tiles and small building blocks will provide a way for students to meet their sensory needs before learning takes place.
