Sensory items

Students Have Been Busy Making Sensory Items

Students have been creating various sensory items
 to utilize for self regulation in the classroom, 
and for use in our Snozzellen (Sensory) room. 

Sensory items include;

Bead Calming Bottles

We are excited to be adding these items to the classrooms, 
and sensory room at Mark Twain (K-8). 
We are also looking forward to watching the students create more fun, interesting, and exciting art activities to assist in self-regulation and tactile exploration.
