  • Sensory Play

    Funded Jan 7, 2025

    Thank you so much for your generous support of our sensory bin project! Your donation has made a huge impact on my TK students. With the variety of sensory materials, students have been able to explore textures, colors, and shapes while developing important skills like hand-eye coordination, scooping, and pouring. These materials have sparked meaningful conversations among peers and encouraged them to create their own games and stories based on what they discover in the bins.

    The addition of themed items—like Valentine's Day hearts and winter-themed treasures—has brought excitement and seasonal joy into our classroom. The cozy blankets included in the project have also been a favorite. Students have used them for soothing moments, fort building, and imaginative play, which has boosted their creativity and strengthened their communication skills. This project has truly enriched our classroom environment and opened up so many opportunities for sensory exploration and social development. Thank you for helping bring this experience to life!”

We have a traditional little brick building with beautiful windows. This is my 2nd year with this school and I am bringing child development and blending it with the academics for our early learners. We have made it a warm and inviting classroom with student work and friendly faces. They enjoy learning and love coming to school. The classroom is home to 20 four to five year old's. They love learning their numbers and letters to music, dance, and games. They take pride in working together and modeling the school expectations inside and outside of the classroom.
