Description
Young learners make sense of their world through touch, movement, and discovery, and sensory play is the gateway to early STEM thinking. This session dives into the power of sensory-rich experiences to build cognitive, motor, and language development while naturally integrating science, engineering, and math concepts. Educators will explore low-cost sensory setups, STEM-infused bins, and inquiry-based strategies designed specifically for PK–K classrooms. Learn how to support diverse learners, foster regulation, and extend play into meaningful STEM exploration. Walk away with practical ideas you can implement tomorrow. This recording will be sent to you at 7:30 AM to view at your convenience.
