My Project

This project has materials needed for sensory and fine motor development. The peg boards and the light-up spheres will enhance their learning by meeting their needs with multisensory objects. The light-up spheres will be used for teaching color. Other materials in this project will be used to create a vibrant, engaging, and supportive learning environment where all students can thrive. The items will be used to help create an engaging learning environment for all my students. Many children come to school without even the basic materials needed for learning. The materials I am requesting will allow them to have a more meaningful learning experience while being better equipped to engage fully in lessons and complete their work with confidence beyond just using the basic supplies of crayons and pencils. Most importantly, having these special learning materials and tools they need reduces stress and distractions, allowing students to focus on learning and build strong academic habits.
