Funded Oct 27, 2021Thank you so much for contributing to make my students' education as fulfilling as possible during these unprecedented times. Instruction while social distancing has been challenging for both my students and I and, your kindness and generosity are very much appreciated to ease our learning journey.
My students were excited to see the new materials and participate in lessons using the variety of manipulatives provided. The students are able to easily follow along with the Math and Science STEM lessons by having individual materials. These materials are used during whole group, small group virtual instruction and during one on one instruction. They have been so useful and have assisted in making instruction more interactive and overall engaging for all students.
The Literacy STEM are used for our hands-on and visual learners as they strengthen their literacy skills by extending stories read in the classroom. Additionally, fine motor stem materials is are excellent tools for the children to practice logical reasoning and problem solving skills. Utilizing these materials allows for the preschool standards to be met while teaching and social distancing.
Lastly, my students are happy to use extensive manipulatives to learn in the classroom making their learning experience a positive one.
