My Project

These small group manipulatives helps the students to learn the concept through hands on activities. It will create a fun learning atmosphere. My goal for students to equip them for the next level. That is second grade. Being a teacher in the first grade classroom it will be effective if the students have to learn using manipulatives. The first grade students need to see or visualize what they are learning. If they are able to see and sound and able to build words and sentences, that will help their fluency skills and that lead to develop their comprehension skills. The same way mathematics also if they and visualize what number are adding and subs traction do, they understand the concept and it will help their numerical skills. Thank you in advance for donating to help my students education
