The sensory bucket is constantly used throughout the day by every student in the classroom. Some students use them more than others, but definitely a popular addition to my classroom. Although each of my students has different needs, they all utilize the sensory toys donated through you. In essence, you have enhanced not only my classroom atmosphere but also my students' ability to calm themselves so that they can learn.\r\n\r\nWe continue to appreciate your donation of our STEM items! The student enjoy using the various building tools to build their structures. Learning to build structures without crashing to the ground enables them to think outside the box and find ways to support the structures. They also build in groups that enhance their ability to work as a team and learn from each other.
