Strawn's Smart Students Need Manipulatives!

Funded Feb 11, 2022

My students and I use our new resources every day! We were in need of classroom manipulative to make lessons more engaging and hands-on. We also got wobble stools for our fidgety learners! For Math, now have hands-on resources to use in order to help with our addition and subtraction facts. We use the Teddy Bear Counters nearly every day for this practice. For ELAR, we also received several resources! One of them was the Magnetic ABC Blocks. This will help them recognize the alphabet and with the making of words. For our general classroom use, we received an electric pencil sharpener. This has been great because now my students can have sharpened pencils to write with.

My students reacted to our new materials with such excitement! Some of them even stated it felt like Christmas when they saw our new resources! This made me feel so good as an educator because now I finally have the resources and materials to effectively teach.

For our next classroom lesson, my students will be learning how to create words and later on, sentences. We will use the tub of magnetic letters and the magnetic ABC tiles.

We want to thank everybody who helped donate to our classroom!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Strawn
