Hands On Learning in Lieu of Chromebooks

Help me give my students alphabet materials, ten frames, and other hands on materials that provide alternative ways to practice their literacy and math skills in lieu of computers.

My Project

We are transitioning back from scholars being assigned individual Chromebooks to 1 for every 3 students in my classroom. In past years the scholars utilized Chromebooks on a daily basis to practice literacy and math skills (via Lexia & Dreambox). I am excited about the opportunity to decrease the requirements for screen time, however, I now need assistance in providing hands on activities for my scholars. The items chosen will provide opportunities for individual and group work. These materials will also allow me to set up effective and functional classroom stations.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
