My Project

These hands-on materials will help make our centers fun and engaging! We use daily 5 in our classroom and we need materials for our writing center and word work center specifically.

My students love anything hands-on and are much more engaged when they have manipulatives and materials to use!

Centers are my student’s favorite time of the day and we need new and exciting materials to use to engage students to push their learning even further. They will be so excited to use these materials and I know they will help my students excel.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
