My Project

Before even meeting our special little ones we want to create a fun learning environment for their upcoming school year! With these items our children will have the opportunity to learn through hands on manipulatives that will further their learning. All of these items, as well as the others will be a great addition to our classroom and will further the learning for the 2022-23 school year!

Manipulatives are a large part of growth and experience.

The letter dinosaurs will help with upper and lower letter indication, which is a major starting point for word recognition. The math counters will give the children accurate visuals to help with their counting skills. The guided reading books, are a great way to introduce and increase our kindergartners reading skills. These manipulatives, allow for a child to visualize and make the Math or ELA lessons come to life before their eyes. Our children are still young and are still learning through play so any additional items to assist this will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for your donation to my donners choice project! Our Kindergarteners will benefit from all your help!
