I decided to make a salt tray for her to practice writing her numbers. So I went to our local Dollar Tree and picked up the supplies. As I was walking through the craft section, I noticed they had bags of colored sand! OMG! I got every color that they had left.
So I made a tray with sand and a tray with salt. She loved it! We practiced our numbers 1-20. She struggles with the numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8. She could write them perfectly in the salt/sand tray. I was so proud of her! It definitely helps to switch things up in the classroom and get away from the paper and pencil.
