Getting the School Year Started With New Supplies!

Help me give my students a gear set and marble run to start off this new school year! The foam base ten blocks will be used as a math manipulative.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Vang's classroom raised $176

This project is fully funded

My Project

The marble run and gears are a great way for students to showcase their motor skills and engineering as they will build and play with the materials. This would also be used during choice time in the morning for students to decompress before a day of learning.

I will be using the base ten blocks as a math manipulative during instruction.

This will help students who need a visual on multiple digit numbers such as place value or adding and subtracting. Thank you all for putting this donation into consideration!
