Bringing Letters to Life: Hands-On Literacy in Action!
Help me give my students materials that will spark curiosity, support multiple learning styles, and make literacy come alive for every child in our room!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Aponte's classroom raised $710
This project is fully funded
My Project
In our classroom, early literacy is all about exploration, play, and meaningful interaction with letters and sounds. To support this important stage of learning, we're seeking donations to bring in hands-on materials that will help my students build foundational literacy skills in a fun and engaging way.
With your help, we hope to receive letter magnets, alphabet tubs filled with tactile objects that match each letter sound, and a sturdy magnetic stand where students can explore, build words, and match letters to sounds.
These tools will allow children to manipulate letters with their hands, connect print to real-world objects, and actively engage in early phonics and word-building activities.
These materials will spark curiosity, support multiple learning styles, and make literacy come alive for every child in our room. Your donation will help create a learning environment filled with discovery, excitement, and the building blocks of reading success!
More than half of students from low‑income households
