Special Project Grant: Sensory Room

Submitted By: Kathy Klenk and Corinna Fulton

Thanks to the Special Projects grant received from MAME, our students from Kindergarten to Grade 6 are able to get their sensory and movement needs met with this amazing light table and accessories as well as a mini-trampoline.

With our sensory light table, students are able to explore and learn about the properties of shapes, colours and colour-mixing, patterns, numbers and letters as well as play various games like tic-tac-toe and bingo. With the multi-colour functions of the table, visual sensory needs are being met while student engagement is at its height. This is such a great addition to our Sensory Room!

Along with a little help from our school funds, we were also able to access some of this grant from MAME to purchase an ultra-bouncy mini-trampoline with a handle for those who might need additional support for balance. This is an effective tool for meeting movement needs for many students in our building. Even the gym teachers are borrowing it from our Movement Room for some of their stations!

Thank you so much to MAME for supporting our students with additional needs!
