We serve special needs pre-k students ages 3 through 5. They all have a variety of exceptionalities including, but not limited to, autism, cerebral palsy, non-verbal, and non-ambulatory. We are in need of materials for our new sensory room, and for additional fine motor activities for our students. We want to purchase items that will help ensure the students are excited and engaged during our fine motor activity time. Also, for our sensory room, we want to purchase items that will help the students learn how to calm themselves when overstimulated. Any help with these purchases are greatly appreciated!
My Project
Our students learn in unique ways. They are also only 3 and 4 so their attention spans tend to be super short. With the variety of items we have selected for our Donors Choose Project, our children will be engage and excited about learning. The items will also calm down any over stimulation our special thinkers might experience that interfere with their ability to learn! The fine motor activities will help our students develop their fine motor skills in fun, less frustrating ways. This too will help eliminate situations that often lead our unique learners to experience melt downs and therefore interfere with their learning. Any items that can make learning a stress free and fun experience are such a big help in our classroom!
