Help me give my students manipulatives for workstations such as: counters, linking cubes, and pattern blocks for independent work. I would also like to have reusable word mapping write-and-wipe boards and touch-and-read write-and-wipe boards.

My Project

These resources help students practice skills hands-on, build independence, and stay engaged in meaningful learning every day.

I want my students to learn, create, discover, and grow this year.

Students learn to manage meaningful work independently while I work with other small groups or one-on-one with an individual student.

Students learn, "I can do this by myself."

Successfully completing a task without an adult will give students a real sense of accomplishment.

Students learn to problem solve by trying a strategy, checking their work, and trying again instead of immediately asking an adult.

"The teacher doesn't have to be right beside me for me to learn": That's a powerful message for a Second Grader.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
