My students are an active and social bunch! They love any chance they get to learn through the use of manipulatives as we all getting their hands dirty! Painting and crafts are one of their favorite things to do, so incorporating that into core lessons is my main goal! Being a second year teacher, I want to be able to provide the most impact to the students with the limited materials I have. DonorsChoose.org would allow me to provide more for my students!
My Project
Hands on activities are fun and engaging for all my students. Their eyes immediately light up when they walk in and see we get to use stamps or magnetic tiles. On the days we use these materials, they think they are "playing" with the materials, without even thinking twice about how much they are learning.
Stamps, magnetic letters, CVC word builders, and other materials allow for students to lead their own learning through letter exploration.
The products I have selected will allow my students to continue working on letter names and sounds. These materials can also be manipulated to guide learning with short words or sentences. With endless uses, these materials can be used across subjects throughout all days.
