As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges, both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.
My students are creative, clever and very spontaneous.
They like to move, they love to read, and they love lots of positive attention. Many of them are being raised in single parent households and receive a free lunch, based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical". From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives; however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hopeful to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of academic excellence.
My Project
My students need multi-sensory manipulatives and activities that focus on student engagement while at the Learning Center time. My students will use these materials to explore their ability through building, drawing, creating patterns, and building letter and number sense.
The kinetic sand and light table accessories will engage the kids as they are learning using hands-on manipulatives.
These activities will be used during Learning Centers throughout the day. They will be able to use these multi-sensory manipulatives during our whole group and small group time, learning letters and sounds as they make words, numbers, and we improve our counting skills. Your generous donation to this project will improve my Kindergarten classroom by building a stronger student. This will change our students' lives for the better. They will love school and feel success at an early age --- having fun while learning!
