The Power of Sensory-Motor Tools for Learning

Help me give my students the tools to support their sensory-motor needs in order to learn.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kira's classroom raised $1,060

My Project

Students are some of the hardest workers of our society and sometimes we forget to fuel their little brains with the sensory input and movement that helps our brains learn effectively. Sometimes students who are struggling to meet these sensory-motor needs in the classroom need a space to reset their nervous systems so that they can be an active participant in their job routine as a student! The goal of this project is to create a space for students to feed their bodies with organizing sensory-motor input so that they can learn. Some of these tools can even be used right in the classroom to help them be successful at their job!
