All About the Basics

My students need new playground balls, scissors, glue, and math manipulatives, like foam shapes.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kobayashi's classroom raised $290

This project is fully funded

My Students

Imagine a whole new understanding of our world through hands on manipulatives.

My wonderful first grade students attend a school in California.

They are proud of their school and the community they belong to. My students are a curious group and are always inquiring about the world that surrounds them. They are active and enjoy many hands-on activities.

My Project

We are kindly requesting a couple of new playground balls, glue, glue sticks, scissors, mini-clocks, and geometric shape manipulatives. The new balls will allow my students to play various recess games without being limited to just one. The additional items requested will allow my students more hands-on opportunities during math and art.

Your donation will mean a great deal to our class as we have been facing tough financial times in education.

Through these hands-on items, my students will be able to make a better connection between academic content and their environment.
