it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
As educators dedicated to fostering a love for learning and exploration, we are seeking support to provide sorting manipulative kits for our students.
Sorting manipulative kits are invaluable tools that help our students develop essential cognitive skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and classification.
These kits not only enhance their academic abilities but also encourage hands-on learning experiences that promote creativity and curiosity. With the kits I have selected the students will use counting bears, sea animal counters, balls, alphabet letters, and light table manipulatives to enhance classification.
Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, many of our students do not have access to these educational resources. That's why we are turning to generous individuals like you for help.
Your donation will enable us to acquire sorting manipulative kits that will benefit students. These kits will provide our students with the opportunity to engage in meaningful, interactive activities that support their development across various subjects, including math, science, language arts, and more.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
