My Project
Our playground needs a little updating and a sandbox would provide fun creative play for them when outside. It would help meet the sensory needs of our little learners.
We want to engage their minds and their bodies with tactile creative play.
Increase their vocabulary when describing what they are making and encourage interaction and cooperation with each other.
Playtime is important learning time when you are young and we want them to have fun as they explore new sensations. We have students that sometimes just need a sensory break and a place to run their fingers through sand would be helpful.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
