My Project

I love how curious, creative, and full of wonder Pre-K students are. Each day, they come to school ready to explore, learn, and engage with the world around them. What makes them so special is their eagerness to learn through play and their joy in discovering new things. As a first-year Pre-K teacher, my goal is to create a classroom environment that supports their development through hands-on, meaningful learning experiences.

A sensory table will help bring that vision to life.

It will give my students a space to explore textures, practice pouring and scooping, build fine motor skills, and work together. By rotating materials like water, rice, sand, or themed objects tied to science and literacy, I’ll be able to support multiple areas of development; including language, early math, and emotional regulation. This one tool can meet a wide range of learning needs while keeping students actively engaged.

My goal for this project is to create a sensory-rich environment that supports learning through exploration. With your help, this table will be a core part of our classroom, helping my students grow socially, emotionally, and academically while having fun every step of the way.
