Their faces lit up with excitement and curiosity as they explored the textures, tools, and materials for the very first time. For many of our learners, this kind of hands-on, sensory-rich experience is not only enjoyable—it's essential for their development. The table has quickly become a favorite center in our classroom, drawing students in with the promise of discovery, play, and meaningful engagement.\r\n\r\nOne of the wonderful things about the sensory table is its versatility. We are able to change out the materials seasonally or to align with classroom themes, keeping the experience fresh and stimulating. Whether it's autumn leaves and acorns, spring flowers and soil, or themed bins like \"arctic animals\" or \"construction site,\" the table continues to captivate and inspire.\r\n\r\nIn addition to the original setup, I've also been adding to our sensory bin collection with unique and engaging materials from Etsy—everything from colorful rice and water beads to themed manipulatives and scoop tools. Each new addition brings more excitement and opportunities for sensory exploration.\r\n\r\nTo build on this momentum, my team and I are currently writing a grant to a local organization in hopes of securing even more sensory materials. We're excited about the potential to expand our collection and offer even more enriching experiences to our students.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making this possible. Your support has created a space where learning is joyful, hands-on, and deeply meaningful for every child in our care. We are so grateful!","fullyFundedDate":1746787382781,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-magic-a-first-grade-sensory-s/9293970/","projectTitle":"\"Hands-On Magic: A First Grade Sensory Station\"","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Salyers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1517759_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745895523013","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-salyers"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_128067","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":757,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":19,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":63,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 3","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":82.1,"schoolId":128067,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bixby West Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bixby West Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oklahoma/bixby-public-schools/bixby-west-elementary-school/128067"}
