My Project

I teach a wonderful group of first graders in Farmington, Connecticut. This year we have focused on accelerating our learning and enriching our environment with tools that help us all focus and succeed. As a class, we have discovered that engaging our mind and body during learning is most helpful! We would benefit from receiving more/varied sensory tools in order to meet the needs of all learners in the classroom. If we were to receive these additional sensory tools all learners would be able to access learning in a more meaningful way. Help us meet these needs through the use of sensory tools! This will help our academic, mental, and emotional growth!
