My Students

What student doesn't love Play-Doh! Play-Doh is always a favorite center activity and generally a number one choice for 5-6 year olds. The benefits of having a Play-Doh center in numerous.

I teach 25 energetic kindergartners each day.

The diversity found among these students is simply a mirror of our tourist-dependent community. Over half of our district's population are classified at the poverty level and one-fourth of that population are classified as intergenerational poverty students. When students enter kindergarten, generally 50% or more score well below grade-level on our benchmark assessments. Students come from a variety of ethnicity's, backgrounds, and experiences.

My Project

My students need Play-Doh, Play-Doh stampers and Play-Doh cutters. The benefits of having a Play-Doh center in numerous. Aside from the social aspects of learning to share, communicate, and self-regulate, this multi-sensory dough develops hand muscles and tendons in young children, preparing them for the rigors of handwriting. Children can make numbers, divide, add-too, take-away, measure, compare, and so on as they develop important math skills. Literacy skills can be enhanced as they form letters and words, or even construct the doughy props to retell a story. And perhaps foremost, Play-Doh develops creativity and curiosity!

The kindergartners in my classroom will greatly benefit from Play-Doh during learning center time.

Not only is the dough therapeutic, fun, and educational, it will improve the dexterity in their hands, improve eye-hand coordination, teach a myriad of educational tenants and yes, just add fun to the school day!
