Exploring Hands On!

Help me give my students learning tools that will help them learn through play. I teach 3K and my scholars learn best hands on. The sensory table is the biggest center! I must keep it interesting for them!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am requesting toys for my sensory center. I have included different toys for my students to touch, build, and smell to keep them engaged. The vinyl fish, the pompoms, the nets and the sea animals will all make a great asset to our water and sand table! In addition, little exploring hands get dirty quickly, so cleaning accessories are a must to keep my scholars healthy and clean.

Furthermore, I take pictures of their interactions, and their work throughout the day, print out the pictures and pin them on my wall to their eye level so they are able to see themselves working and being successful so ink is a must to continue printing out pictures.
