Art on a Cart!
Funded Aug 15, 2024Thank you so much for supporting my Art on a Cart project! The storage containers allowed me to organize my cart, and the students get so excited when they see the materials that are stored on the cart. I can also easily find what I need which is so important as I push into 5 different classrooms each day.
My students love to explore and use the oil pastels. They love the bright colors, the ability to easily blend colors, and the sensory feel of them. Students studied the artist Ted Harrison, and then created beautiful arctic landscape pictures using the oil pastels. They also love to paint, and the watercolor paints and paper has given them many opportunities to create and express themselves with paint. Thank you!”

Funded Nov 30, 2022Thank you so much for supporting my Engaging Manipulatives project. My students and I great appreciate it! As soon as the students saw the magnetic ten-frames with the colored math counters, they couldn't wait to use them. They were so engaged with them during both whole-group and small-group lessons. They used them to count, add, subtract and increase their number sense as they answered questions to compose and decompose numbers. They especially enjoyed using the dry erase markers to write the numbers or equations they created using the counters and ten-frames.
They also loved using the magnetic numbers on their own white boards. It was wonderful to have materials to create small groups to meet all of my students' needs. Some groups were counting and learning the sequence of numbers, while others were using the magnetic numbers to add and subtract. In some centers, we were able to use both the ten-frame and the white boards with magnetic numbers together and they loved that!
My students also had so much fun creating words with the magnetic letters. I used the card stock and laminating paper to make site word cards. Students choose a site word, then used the magnetic letters to build it, and finally used the dry erase markers to write it. So much fun!!! They also made their own words and suddenly had a list of words they built on their own.
Thank you again for these wonderful manipulatives that will be used for years! They are perfect for my students with autism, and can be used for many levels of learners.”
