My Students
My preschool class is the result of a grant which is geared towards providing students with maximum exposure to content material with increased levels of direct instruction. In my classroom, I currently have 22 enthusiastic and energetic 3 and 4 year olds who love to explore and experiment. Coupled with their desire to learn, it makes for a lively classroom.
To see the students' faces light up when they make a discovery, learn something new, or conquer a new skill or concept is priceless.
It warms my heart to see them excelling.
My Project
I am requesting sand for the opportunity to explore, develop their fine motor skills, and their tactile senses. Students will be able to build and create using sand. The sand will allow them to use their tactile senses, learn about textures, develop and strengthen their fine motor skills, as well as their hand-eye coordination. Research has shown that children learn through play.
Playing in the sand will increase their vocabulary, math skills, as well as their social skills.
The students will be able to carry on conversations with other students who is playing in the sand. This will be an added benefit for those students who are English language learners.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
