My Project

My students are a lovely group of impressionable young creative minds. These cuddle balls, sensory sand sets, sensory beads, and rainbow liquid sensory viewers are great for my students to renew their minds while learning. I noticed that most of my students have focusing issues and the pandemic diminished their social interactions even in small settings.

These materials will help redirect students' minds which will increase their learning, deepening their knowledge in the classroom.

These resources are designed to stimulate redirection, organic play, and a growth mindset, thus building a sense of structured play to refresh the mind and soul which will re-engage students in their learning experience. I see the struggle in the classroom, these resources will be of great help to all of my students.
