As a result of Hurricane Harvey, there was overcrowding in the classroom. I was transferred from a different school, different grade to address the thirty plus kindergarteners in one room. Now the classrooms are balanced but there were no resources for my new room. With the new year, there was hope of budget increases but January only brought more cuts and no hope of basic classroom manipulatives. With the many children with diverse needs in my class, they need to get hands-on! These classroom supplies will ensure enough manipulatives for each child to get deeper involved in their learning and create more excitement and desire. These supplies will support everyday learning: alphabet letters so they can learn new sight words in small groups, unifix cubes to model addition and subtraction, and literacy centers that promote independence. I can see the look on my students' faces when I bring blocks, letters and new math/literacy center materials to the room. Sheer joy! I cannot wait to use that opportunity to prolong their desire to learn.
