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 Project
Transitional Kindergarteners are curious hands-on learners. They need repetition and lots of practice to master foundational skills like counting and number sense. Utilizing counting physical objects in sensory bins gives them this important practice.
When students have the opportunity to physically handle and count objects in a collection, they build number sense which strengthens their one-to-one correspondence, cardinality, conservation, subtilizing, estimating, skip-counting, and flexible thinking.
Your donation to this project will provide students in this classroom with a Saint Patrick's Day counting book and a variety of, green and gold gems, and charms for students to count. These gemstones and coins will be placed in the sensory bin for students to physically retrieve and count. After placing numbers on the coins and mixing them in with the colored gemstones, students will try to retrieve and place coins in the correct numerical order. Another activity that will build their one-to-one correspondence is to roll a dice, and then retrieve that many gold pieces, or shamrocks. For a super challenge, students will roll two dice, add up the sum, and then retrieve that many pieces from the sensory bin. these seasonal materials will give students a variety of objects to physically hold, move, count, organize, and sort. This hands-on practice will help them master the most foundational skill in mathematics, counting.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
