Mrs. Wellbaum Pikes Peak Elementary School
Colorado Springs, CO Grades PreK-2

I am fortunate to teach kindergarten at a high poverty, high needs school in Colorado.

My students face the ever present obstacle of no funds for schools. The district and their families have no money to provide essential materials for my students. Our math curriculum provides no essential manipulatives, and this is the best way for my students to learn. Hands on activities provide the ability for students to expand the skills beyond the book and we just don't have these resources and are in desperate need of them.

My students need essential math manipulatives and centers that will enable them to build concrete math skills using hands on materials for a more engaging learning experience. They are in need of manipulatives for counting that can be used for sorting and patterning. They also need shape manipulatives to be used at centers and finally they need books and manipulatives to work on counting skills.

Your generosity will ensure my students have essential materials to expand on our curriculum and build concrete math skills that they will use for the rest of their lives.
