My Students

I believe in jumping beans because they are sitting in my classroom. My students love to wiggle and giggle and learn new things. Young children make learning connections when they actively engage in an activity.

My students are first grade early intervention students.

They learn best when they are exposed to concepts through games, puzzles, and hands-on center activities. I have a set of ABC letter beanbags and we have great fun putting them in order, identifying letter sounds, and ringing the metal bucket.

My Project

Your donations will allow my students to use beanbags, which they love so much, during reading and math instruction. The number, color, and shape beanbags will help them learn concepts that are critical for first graders. You will also be providing them with a hands-on opportunity to move and learn in the classroom.

My little jumping beans are working hard to master first grade concepts.

Your donations will enable them to put their minds and bodies into the activities. It will make such a difference in their learning experience to have the number, color and shape beanbags along with the hopscotch carpet.
