My Project
Hands-on learning with games and manipulatives helps learners build and reinforce skills. My students often learn by doing and by touch.
Manipulatives and games allow for individual exploration and creativity, making learning more personalized and effective.
Hands-on activities naturally pique children's curiosity and encourage exploration, leading to increased engagement and motivation.
When students are actively involved in the learning process, they are more likely to remember and understand the material.
In summary, hands-on learning provides a powerful and engaging approach to early childhood education, fostering crucial skills, boosting cognitive development, and promoting a love for learning.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
