My Students

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to check out my project. Kindergarten is such a special year for students, one that they will never forget. This year due to the current world-wide pandemic my students will be learning from home. My students must have access to hands-on learning tools like manipulatives. My little learners thrive when they have tangible learning experiences!

My Project

My little learners require hands-on learning experiences! These manipulative backpacks will be utilized daily in all content areas. With all of my students having the same materials, it will make for a more equitable learning experience for all, while also increasing student engagement and participation with each real-time virtual lesson.

Know that you are positively impacting 21 little learners with these vital materials.

The counting bears and counting links will be used to assist with counting, patterns, and educational games. In addition to this, the foam letters will be used during our literacy block. The backpack also includes materials like scissors, crayons, tactile number cars, and even a draw and write journal!
