My Students

I currently teach kindergarten students at a small town elementary school in South Carolina. My students come from a variety of different economic backgrounds. While some of my students have spent several years in a structured environment, others are new to a classroom setting. However, they all come to school full of life and ready to learn. My students are sweet, energetic, observant, curious, and love to stay busy! By including sensory objects in my classroom, my students can engage in learning activities that are also enhancing creativity and inquiry, while improving fine and gross motor skills.

I want to provide my students with experiences that will encourage a love of learning through exploration.

In recent years, research has shown that providing students with choice and flexibility in the classroom often encourages engagement and motivation, as well as inquiry. I am hoping by providing this with a variety of sensory objects, such as seating, building objects, and other tools; it will appeal to my kindergarten kids who love to create, move, play, and observe using all of their senses!

My Project

My students are sweet, energetic, observant, curious, and love to stay busy! By including sensory objects in my classroom, my students can engage in learning activities that are also enhancing creativity and inquiry, while improving fine and gross motor skills.

I want to allow my kindergarten students to learn, while having the ability to move, create, and build in areas that they feel most comfortable in the classroom.

Wobble stools will allow them to work at the table without feeling stationary. The magnet tiles, STEM materials, and tangle toys will allow the students inquiry based learning experiences, which they can take ownership in.
