My Students
Have you ever walked by something that you just had to touch? That is how my students feel when they see our sand/water table but they need more supplies to make their play meaningful while perfecting fine motor skills.
Our student population is challenged by generational and situational poverty.
This results in absentee and/or uninvolved parents, little ability to focus and follow through, negative social behaviors, and an acute lack of personal responsibility. Ours is a PK-5 neighborhood school with about 90% of its total student population on the free and reduced meal program. Students are a mix of socio-economic backgrounds, gender, races, and academic abilities.
My Project
Young children are tactile learners and curious about how everything feels. These resources will provide my students with the opportunity to use their sense of touch at our sand and water table to go on a dino dig, build pipe waterways, hunt for letters and numbers or turn the table into various habitats for the animals. The dough, stampers and alphabet punch set will allow my students to practice fine motor skills which will in the end will help improve their writing skills. This wide variety of items will be used to cover areas of math, reading, science, and social development.
This project will allow my students to explore various academic areas while helping with tactile learning and provide fine motor practice all while independently interacting with peers at the sand and water table.
More than half of students from low‑income households
