The Tactile Town

Help me give my students the hands-on learning experiences in my classroom this year!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Crowe's classroom raised $282

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students learn best with hands-on activities. Hands-on sensory activities foster essential skills and promote brain development through exploration and engagement. Sensory play supports cognitive development by promoting problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity.

This project will give my students the opportunity to expand their vocabulary and develop their language skills.

Activities like playdough, bead threading, finger painting and using sensory bins help develop fine motor skills that are essential for writing and other activities.

PreK/Kindergarteners represents a diverse group of learners, each with their own unique strengths and needs, making them all special in their own unique way. PreK/Kindergarteners represents the very beginning of formal education.
