I place icons and picture symbols inside the sand, and students search for them as part of answering reading questions and practicing vocabulary. This has also become a great way to support sensory regulation, helping students stay calm, focused, and ready to learn while they work.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, they were very excited and curious. They immediately wanted to explore, and you could see their faces light up as they realized they were allowed to touch, search, and learn at the same time.
