  • It's All About the Process, Not the Product!

    Funded Aug 23, 2020

    It is with your generosity that my wonderful kiddos have the chance to explore, and learn through different art medians. These tools have sparked interest in how things work, how colors come together, and how different textures come together to make something unique, and special. Most importantly, these tools are teaching my kids that there truly are no mistakes in art.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Joanie

  • Putting the "Sense" in Sensory Play

    Funded Aug 20, 2020

    Thank you so much for helping me to bring a sensory center to my classroom during this very uncertain time. You have helped bring creativity, discovery, and imagination back into our classroom. Our possibilities are endless, from sand play, to water beads, to personal scavenger hunts, my kids will strengthen their fine motor skills, visual perception, receive sensory input, and most importantly, have fun learning.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Joanie

Sensory play in an early childhood classroom can look, and feel like so many different things. Filling a tray with sand, and hunting for "buried treasure" in the form of shapes, numbers, and letters, using different tools is a great way for strengthening working memory, fine motor skills, and Kindergarten Readiness. Using things like tweezers, scoops, strainers, and sometimes just our hands, leads to so many learning experiences, as well as providing much needed sensory input for young children. In light of COVID, we can no longer have a sensory center, so by setting up individual sensory stations, this gives my favorite little friends the chance to partake in a very important part of early childhood education.
