In the sandbox, they are digging, filling buckets, making shapes, and pretending to build different things. It has been so fun watching them explore the new materials.\r\n\r\nThese activities also give our students many chances to learn through play. They are practicing taking turns, asking for toys, playing next to their friends, and learning new words like full, empty, wet, dry, pour, and scoop. We will continue using the materials during outside time to work on communication, social skills, and learning through hands-on play.","fullyFundedDate":1777592544672,"projectUrl":"project/ecse-outside-fun/10195843/","projectTitle":"ECSE OUTSIDE FUN","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Miguez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10405838"},{"teacherId":4101063,"projectId":10198500,"letterContent":"Our bean bags were looking really, really sad.

The sensory materials also give students opportunities to practice regulating their emotions while strengthening their fine-motor skills through activities such as manipulating, building, creating, and exploring. One of my favorite moments has been watching students who may normally need extra encouragement to participate become excited to join an activity and proudly show off what they created.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our students now have more ways to learn through their individual strengths and interests.

These actions strengthen their shoulders, core, and coordination while giving them a joyful way to explore science concepts. Students work together around the tables, practicing balance, spatial awareness, and cooperative movement.\r\n\r\nThe See‑Inside Water Pumps add a powerful gross‑motor challenge. Pumping requires strength, endurance, and controlled force, helping children develop large‑muscle stability and body awareness. Seeing the water move through the pump motivates them to keep trying, refining their movements with each push and pull.\r\n\r\nOur younger learners benefit from the Water Play Kit, Design & Build Water Blocks, and Waterway Block Set, which encourage grasping, lifting, stacking, bending, and carrying.
