Help me give my students hands-on materials such as paint, play dough, Floam, sensory paint, and glue sticks so they can learn literacy in a fun and developmental way. This is best for English Language Learners.
These classroom materials and supplies will aid in their literacy acquisition and help them be prepared for class each day by giving them the supplies and materials that they need to do hands-on learning.
My school has a very high ELL (English Language Learner) population.
My class of 23 students have 18 that are ELLs with a first language in Haitian Creole & Spanish. They must learning English as well as literacy and math during the school year.
Hands-on learning is most developmentally appropriate for young children but also students who have no English language. They learn best through interacting with the materials such as Play-Doh, Floam, paint and using glue for projects. Learning through experiments and hands-on interactions with literacy and math. They can learn all these school skills while soaking in the English language.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
