My Project

My students are hard-working and curious but could use more hands-on learning experiences.

Math and Science activities are fun and interesting for students with hands-on materials to use and explore.

These different counters will allow for exciting math exploration in counting, sorting, patterning, and more.

I will use the science kits to provide my students a chance to engage in real-life experiences in our classroom.

I love to see how engaged and excited the students are when they are learning through hands-on play experiences.
