The goal of this project is to meet our financial literacy targets in kindergarten through literacy, creativity and physical movement. The pencil and crayon sharpener will be used when my students are recording their thoughts on financial literacy on paper and their recording device breaks. They will be able to sharpen it and then record their thoughts on the uses of money and their learning of needs verses wants. The hopperballs will be used to reach the students with sensory needs. The balls are meant to let children work off energy while still attending to any instructional subject such as math, financial literacy and reading. Recent studies in the May 2013 NAEYC Journal have published findings that report young children have "neurological processes that help them organize information and respond to their environment. The way in which each child responds to this sensory information is related to sensory integration. " (Lynch and Simpson 2004) I will use these hopperballs in my small group areas and also whole group so that students can wiggle a little without disturbing the other children in the group and classroom.
