My Project

These various games and center activities are enriching ways for my students to practice the various ELA and Math skills they learn day after day. In my class, we play games that test and grow our vocabulary, reading skills, decoding skills, and upper and lower-case letter identification. We also play games that test and enhance our math skills including number identification up to 20 and addition and subtraction up to 20 as well.

We discover vertices and angles of both 2D and 3D shapes.

When playing with Magnatiles, my students will be able to create various 3D models of structures, create flat 2D shapes, or make any shape their creativity takes them.

Funding a project like this with a variety of games and hands-on activities in my classroom that has a wide variety of learners, provides them with several different, enriching, and fun ways to access our curriculum creating higher chances of academic success in the future.
