We have already established a great love for learning. Children love to play while they learn. Every classroom needs a sensory table to incorporate more tactile activities during centers.
Students may master the grade level readiness skills with the use of a sensory table, different colored sand, feel and find sensory materials, and other types of materials.
Students' needs of differentiated instruction is crucial in the learning environment.
I feel as if I can reach the individual needs of students through the use of the sensory table and materials.
My Project
Sensory tables allow one to differentiate instruction in the classroom. Sensory work is not only academic, but it also addresses a student’s learning profile and their interests! You can meet students’ level of readiness as well.
Kinesthetic learners need the movement and feel of the sensory table.
Linguistic learners enjoy the dialogue associated with working with other students at the sensory table. The interpersonal learner loves working with other students. The spatial learner develops stories and scenarios for play based on the contents of the table. The logical/mathematical learner loves the sorting and classifying of materials. Depending on the materials, the naturalist can even be engaged by a shell collection or different types of rocks added to a sensory table. The sensory table work can be aligned to Mississippi College and Career Readiness Standards, address learning profiles, interests and readiness levels of students.
