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 students are in a school that is 90% free or reduced lunch. As you can imagine we are short on lots of needed items. These students enjoy learning and are excited to be able to show what they know. Due to some of the difficulties at home, my students are not always ready to learn when they arrive at school. We would like to set up a sensory hallway to help them prepare for classes and learning. The lesson is how to not bump into things or moving slowly.
My Project
Many of our kids struggle with the transition from home to school, which makes it difficult for them to come in ready to learn. The above materials will be used to make various self-regulation stations for the students to follow, allowing them to prepare for class learning.
Student activity: Marching through a hallway of a sensory wonderland.
Introduce the activity:
The teacher will introduce the activity with a focus question:
How would we move when we want to be careful and not bump something or slow?
All the activities are designed to provide good proprioceptive, tactile, and vestibular movements which help the students calm their bodies and prepare their minds for learning. In our project, this would include opportunities to jump, skip, hop, crawl, and touch various textures, while integrating school concepts such as counting, letters, and basic math. This is also a good outlet for energy, so, those students who need extra movement during the day could use the pathway on the way to their next class thus allowing them to settle and/or prepare their body and mind for learning.
These types of opportunities for physical movement not only prepares the student for class learning but also integrates the standards of movement all children must meet for appropriate developmental growth. This would be a fun way to start/end the day through self-regulation.
