Celebrating 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 am a Transitional Kindergarten teacher in historic Barrio Logan. My students are diverse, vibrant, curious, and always excited to learn. To honor their amazing spirit I want to design a sensory area within my classroom. Sensory play helps younger students explore, create and make their own meaning as they are learning. Sensory play is not only developmentally appropriate for TK students, but is also a fun, hands-on way of reinforcing what they are learning in the classroom.
To support my student's developmental needs, I am asking for your help to create a designated sensory area.
With a new sensory area, my students will be able to explore different textures (such as water, sand, rice, and water beads), different tactile sensations (such as temperature, pressure, traction, etc) and extend their learning through unit-based realia.
I have seen first hand how much play and hands-on activities help students grow, learn, and ultimately succeed. I hope you will join me in supporting my students through this endeavor.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
