Help me give my students the hand2mind VersaTiles Literacy Classroom Set, an Independent Self-Checking & Skill Practicing System that gives them screen free learning at school and at home.
I'm a teacher in a low-income, Title I school, and the kids need a lot. The students are faced with many challenges daily either at home if they don't have food to eat or at school with daily challenges. My class is full of 18 loving, eager, and caring students.
My students have many challenges at home that I can not control, but I can control the situation at school.
The students grow so much in a year academically and socially. I am so excited to start this year with these wonderful students.
My Project
Young children learn initially through their senses, so their learning environments should provide opportunities for them to be hands-on—to see, hear, touch, and connect with their surroundings.
Research supports hands-on learning with manipulatives to enhance literacy Instruction.
According Jean Piaget, allowing young learners the chance to physically interact with their environments is critical for early learning success.
Early literacy is especially important. Hands-on literacy programs that use manipulatives to help students learn to read, incorporate research-proven strategies to help differentiate literacy instruction for all students. When young children master abilities and skills through play, they also exhibit a higher language level.
More than three‑quarters of 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
