Engaging Preschoolers to Learn Letters and Numbers

Help me give my students materials to help them learn to love letters and numbers

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Nancy's classroom raised $326

This project is fully funded

My Project

In the beautiful Hawaiian islands, teachers are working hard to provide targeted instruction to preschool students in the low income area where I work. Besides being low income, up to 30% of my students do not have English as their first language. In addition, there are 8 students with special learning needs including autism.

I strive to make their experiences with letters and numbers fun.

The snap on letters and numbers as well as the alphabet locks will encourage a good feeling about these, especially for students who don't have much experience with books, letters and number activities at home. The paint and tissue paper provide art activities that help make my. students want to come to school and learn.
