My Students

This is an incredible group of twenty of the most amazing people I’ve ever been fortunate to watch grow in their own ways. These students are three and four years old, and they are KERA and Headstart eligible. We live in a small town with little diversity.

I have seen children with a great interest in the arts, science, math, early literacy, and just simply cooperating in daily activities.

It is a pleasure to see children in a happy place. It makes the environment a pleasant place to be in. It is exciting to go to work each day and see twenty smiling adventurous children excited for the day.

My Project

The sand table and the water table can be two of the most popular areas of the classroom for young children, but it is important to remember that these areas are essential to the classroom for higher-level learning. Both of these centers allow children to learn with hands-on materials and take in new information through their senses. These sensory experiences can assist some children with calming down their bodies.

The sand and water centers are introductions to higher-level thinking concepts like volume.

When children empty two pails of sand into one larger pail, they begin to learn about which pail has more and which pail has less. They have the opportunity to see how many cups it takes to fill the largest bucket. They can also see how one tall pail of sand also equals a short, large bucket. Children can use the sand to create shapes and structures.

The water table introduces children to early physics concepts like motion and flowing water. Children have the opportunity to make predictions about what objects will sink in the water and which items will float. Sand and water areas introduce discussions about living and non-living items, as well as animal habitats.
