Success and Learning Through Hands-on Activities and Sensory Supports
Help me give my students more hands-on activities to promote learning. Many of my students need visual supports and hands-on learning to succeed, so we need adaptive seating to promote focus and sensory items to provide breaks.

My Project
The items on my list are all a part of the plan I am creating to best support my students for the next school year. I am wrapping up my first year as a teacher, and these items will help me make small tweaks from what I did this year to support my students better. I will use the seating in my library area to provide my students with a space to sit and read books, and take a break. The sensory tiles will support my students during wiggle/brain breaks. The hands-on learning activities will keep my students engaged and wanting to learn, especially my students who learn more visually. These hands-on activities on my list will help my students during our centers. The sequin cloth will go in our quiet area to provide support when students need a break.
Working in special education is a pleasure, and as the teacher, I am continually thinking of ways I can better support my students and their learning.
I teach TK-1st grade Extensive Support Needs; my students are still learning the routine of school, and need a lot of hands-on learning. My students enjoy sensory activities and different seating when reading books or playing. Every student is different, and as their teacher, I am just trying my best to provide what they need to be in an environment where they feel safe, secure, and want to learn.
More than half of students from low‑income households
