My Project

The students are in need of concrete math and science materials so that they are able to "see" and make sense of what is happening when learning new concepts and skills. The students will be able to learn new skills like counting, sorting, cause and effect, shapes, and matching. Not only will the students be learning new skills through some of the materials, but they will also use some of the activities like the file folder to practice known skills independently. This project will positively impact the students by giving them hands-on activities to practice math and science.
