These hands-on tools offer more than just play—they create powerful opportunities for exploration, discovery, and growth. Each bin is carefully designed around classroom themes, allowing students to dive into meaningful, imaginative play that aligns with what we're learning. Whether digging through kinetic sand to find hidden letters or scooping colorful rice to sort themed objects, students are actively engaging with their senses while developing essential fine motor skills.\r\n\r\nSensory play has been especially impactful for students who may struggle with focus, communication, or emotional regulation. These bins provide a safe, calming space where students can explore textures, practice language, and express themselves through themed storytelling and cooperative play. We've seen students who were once hesitant to speak begin describing what they're building, sharing tools, and making connections with their peers. Sensory bins support not only academic readiness but also social and emotional development—making them an invaluable part of our TK classrooms.","fullyFundedDate":1742938343148,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-young-minds-sensory-tools-for/9076036/","projectTitle":"Engaging Young Minds: Sensory Tools for Focus and Growth","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Leathers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3163489_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1458099488666","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ashleyleathers"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_30970","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":593,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":48,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":30,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":52,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"21.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":80.5,"schoolId":30970,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Reidy Creek School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Reidy Creek School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/escondido-union-elementary-school-district/reidy-creek-school/30970"}
