My Project

These materials will be used to help my students grasp basic concepts they will need to further their learning. Alongside the manipulatives, the other items were added to help facilitate instruction. Things like graph paper and laminating sheets really add up, but are a necessity in a primary classroom.

Any donation will help further my efforts to provide my students with everything they need to be successful in their learning.

I find that manipulatives and the basic items, tend to help my students the most. Having hands on - gives us the most gains!
