My Students

Endless energy, creativity, resilience, and many more characteristics from my students, I encountered while working with them. Our school is a Title 1. We have a strong support system for families and parent involvement. Additionally, a lot of students are new to the school system and education Their vivid smiles bring joy to all those around them.

My students are similar to scientists, they are discovering new things each and every day.

My students are little scientists and my job is to aid them in the discovery of their milestones. Therefore, I want to provide the best education and learning for them.

My Project

To promote and enrich creativity and innovation in the classroom, students should be able to have access to developmentally age-appropriate curriculum materials and manipulatives that enhance their growth.

The sensory table encourages learning through exploration and creativity.

Thus, stimulating nerve connections in the brain to effectively develop language and motor skills.

The main goal is to aid students with their creativity, innovation, and problem-solving skills. Utilizing sensory aids will support sensory processing challenges. Additionally, students who experience difficulties interpreting and organizing input from other things that they see in the classroom or school environment will benefit as well from the sensory table. Physically, visually, and mentally, using the sensory table will support students in their early childhood years.
