My Students

I teach at a high poverty school full of energetic, eager-to-learn students. They come to Kindergarten on a variety of levels and from a variety of backgrounds. They all want to be successful.

The best part about Kindergarten is they can have fun with just about any lesson.

It is my job to see to it that school can be a fun place even while they are learning. We make every day special for everyone by having fun while becoming successful learners.

My Project

Remember when you visited a beach and how much fun you had playing in the sand. This sand will allow my students to have that fun while learning different skills. Kinetic Sand can be molded into numbers, sight words, letters, and can also be used to design and create different objects. The things you can do with it is endless.

Kinetic Sand allows the students hands on sensory experiences that will promote learning while having fun.

The texture of this sand is unique in that it can be molded into objects but can also slip through their fingers. Students beg to use this in my class. Please help me get some for my students.
