My Project

I envision setting up STEM spaces equipped with textured materials, fidget tools, and SCIENCE that provide comfort and security. Additionally, I want to include interactive learning stations that offer hands-on experiences with art supplies, building blocks, and science exploration kits to engage the children’s curiosity and creativity.

I believe this is a fantastic opportunity to introduce the children to diverse and stimulating experiences that not only foster individual growth but also strengthen their connection to the community around them.

These resources will play a crucial role in helping them navigate their surroundings, develop social skills, and establish a sense of belonging.

I would greatly appreciate any advice, resources, or materials from anyone willing to support this endeavor. Together, we can create an enriching environment that meets the needs of all children in my classroom. Thank you in advance for your help!
