Learning Through Creative Play and Sensory Integration
Help me give my students a Sand/Water Table and a Round Table! Learning through creative play and sensory integration, students will search for letters, numbers, and items with different textures. The round table will provide small group instruction.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Marty's classroom raised $771
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students are between the ages of 4 and 5 years of age. They are just starting their school experience and they all have a great love of learning. Many began the school year knowing zero letters while others know a few. This age requires small group instruction, creative play, visuals, and manipulatives to provide different learning modalities as well as differentiated instruction for our young learners. I am excited to be teaching such a diverse, wonderful group of children!
My Project
Using a sand/water table allows my students to explore learning through sensory integration and tactile play. They will search for letters, numbers, shapes and play with different textures.
Sensory integration provides a crucial foundation for later, more complex learning and behavior.
Students will search for uppercase/lowercase letters in the sand and match them up. The same activity will be used with numbers 1-20. I will also use sensory beads and other objects with different textures and search for ocean and land animals. As well as practice sink or float science activities
The round table will be used for small group instruction, science experiments, art projects and used as a center rotations in our center based classroom.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
