Sensory Bins to Assist with Fine Motor Skills

Please help me give my students sensory bins as dynamic learning tools that engage them through touch, sight, and other senses. These bins offer a hands-on approach to education, making learning effective and enjoyable.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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 Project

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Mackenzie Salgado, and I am a Kindergarten teacher. I am contacting you with a special request that will significantly enhance the learning experience for my students.

Our school is committed to providing a nurturing and enriching environment for our students.

In pursuit of this vision, I actively seek support for implementing sensory bins in my classroom. I focus on enhancing fine motor skills, crucial for developing hand-eye coordination and movement precision. Fine motor skills play a fundamental role in writing, buttoning clothes, and tying shoelaces, all essential for a child's independence and academic success.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
