This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
As a first-year teacher in a K-1 separate classroom primarily serving students with moderate to severe disabilities, I am dedicated to helping my students regulate their bodies through sensory input. Throughout this school year, I've observed the benefits of providing my students with opportunities to experience various sensory stimuli.
By offering items that cater to different sensory experiences, I've seen improvements in my students' engagement.
When they receive adequate sensory input, I've noticed a decrease in their anxiety levels, improved ability to maintain focus and be engaged, and increased self-regulation skills.
Through this project for a sensory table, light tray, floor tiles, tent, and more, my goal is to further facilitate self-regulation among my students and gain a deeper understanding of their individual sensory needs.
