Celebrate 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

It is my great honor to be my students' first teacher. I love spending our school year getting my kids excited about learning.

My kindergartners are energetic, happy, and love learning.

They love expressing themselves through creative play and hands-on experiences. I teach in a high-needs, Title I school where many students are second language learners. Budget cuts have caused our class sizes to go up, and many programs shut down. Our school is motivated to create the best learning environment for our students. We are looking for every opportunity to inspire our students, explore their creativity, and develop a love of learning at school and home.

My Project

As children scoop and dump sand, they are unknowingly learning while having fun. The self-directed play offered at sand or sensory tables, helps children improve their coordination skills, use their gross motor and cognitive skills, learn some fundamentals of math, and test out their artistic expression.

Whether they are building the next best sandcastle or tracing pictures in the sand, children have an opportunity to explore their artistic side as they play while incorporating academics.

Depending on the tools given, you can teach them about patterning and shapes as they create their masterpieces.
