Fun Hands-On Learning for Little Hands

Funded Sep 2, 2023

Thank you so much for donating to make my classroom a more fun and engaging learning environment. The kids use the light table and manipulatives daily. they love to spell words with the letters and make up addition equations with the numbers. Their favorite thing to do is to make pictures with the shape pieces.

When the kids first saw the light table and all of the other games, they immediately wanted to start playing! We got out the folder games and they dove right in! They were easy to use, and the kids can use them independently and with others. These are great for center time because they are not only learning, but it requires no prep time for me. They are also great for differentiating. I got some lower level folder games and upper level. I can tailor them to the needs of my kiddos. and they can move up to the more difficult games when they need to.

We also use the sentence strips weekly. The students like that they can write letters, numbers and just draw on them. They wipe easily and stack nicely. We also use the number chart every day during our calendar/math time. the kids like to be able to see the numbers and then we count how many days we've been in school. the patterned numbers are nice too. The students are in charge of the number chart. They take ownership in making sure that it is updated daily and that it corresponds with how many days we've been in school.

Thanks again for making my classroom more engaging for my students.”
