Mrs. Stewart-Llamas from Galax VA is requesting supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Sensory Play

My students need a variety of sensory items and a light table to meet their varying needs. Sensory play allows students to meet their needs and then be able to focus on learning.

My Students

My classroom consists of a wide range of students, in different grades, with varying ability levels. Some areas I serve are Autism, Intellectual Disability and Developmental Delay. These students vary in the severity of their needs but are all unique in their abilities and strengths. Our school is located in a very rural area with very little resources. Our students come from a variety of economic backgrounds and many face daily challenges outside the classroom but the support of community and related service providers is great. Our school has a culture of acceptance that makes me proud to teach there as well as have my personal children attend.

My Project

My students love to play. During free time we focus on structured play that meets their varying sensory needs allowing them to focus when they return to academics. These sensory bins allow students to learn while exploring touch. The light table accessories will allow students to learn about shapes, numbers and letters while exploring visually. Play that involoves all the senses enhances learning and helps calm students getting them ready to focus on academics. These items would be a blessing to my new students this year. Thank you for your continued support as I move forward with creating a sensory friendly classroom.
