Tk Crew Critical Thinkers

Help me give my students 2 sets of AILIHEN Kids Headphones. My little ones need them so they can concentrate when we zoom and they can focus on their work and tune out any distractions around 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

The use of the requested headphones, stem, and sensory toys will continue to offer many benefits for my little ones' child development, including: helping them understand how their actions affect what's around them. Supporting brain development, enhancing memory, complex tasks and problem-solving and critical thinking skills, as they learn to make connections and identify patterns. In addition, sensory play is a lot of fun. Children use their senses to explore and try to make sense of the world around them. They do this by touching, tasting, smelling, seeing, moving and hearing. Sensory play helps language development, cognitive growth, fine motor skills and gross motor skills, and social interactions. By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase students' attention and focus. You will eventually help to increase their child development and academic achievement.
