My Project

The integration of sensory supports will help enhance hands-on learning experiences tailored to fit my students individual needs. Hands-on learning, synonymous with experiential learning, emphasizes learning by doing and immersion in subjects to help deepen understanding and retention.

The specific items requested, such as sensory tools and adaptive seating, play a crucial role in facilitating hands-on learning for kinesthetic learners.

Kinesthetic learners thrive when they can engage with tangible examples and actively participate in their learning process. By incorporating more sensory tools into my classroom,I can create an environment that fosters active participation, allowing students to explore concepts through practical experience.

By providing a supportive environment that encourages exploration and interaction, I aim to enhance learning outcomes and promote a positive attitude towards education. Working with more and more students with ADHD I am always thinking outside the box to help keep them engaged in their learning.

What makes our students at our Elementary special is their diverse learning styles and sensory profiles. Each student possesses unique strengths and preferences for how they learn best. By embracing hands-on learning and accommodating sensory needs, I can celebrate this diversity and empower my students to thrive in their educational journey.
