The materials I am requesting for my young students are desperately needed to provide more movement activities within the classroom. Some of my young students have disabilities and the majority of them come from low income families. We need your help in making our goals a reality! The trampoline will provide a safe place for sensory and gross motor activities, as well as teach turn-taking and sharing. The riding toys, foam pogo jumpers, and balance boards will allow for new experiences in moving, create opportunities for motor planning, thereby providing input and feedback, and increased health. The fine motor activities will give each child the opportunity to be creative while learning to manipulate items to build and create. The parachutes will give all of the children collaborative opportunities to work towards a common goal (ie, keeping a ball in the air or moving together in a circle).
Since a moving child is a learning child, the donations to this project will provide sensory, gross motor, and fine motor activities which are necessary for increased health and learning.
By integrating these opportunities into our learning environment, my students will benefit from moving, while they are learning to work together, share, and experience learning. We will use these materials to help bridge the learning gap, health gap, as well as the financial gap that face many of our young students. As the teacher, I have done extensive research on the need for young children to move while they learn. Your support is needed to make this a reality. Thank you!
