Give Us a Hand!

My students need tools such as trays, a Code-a-Pillar, and sand and water table items to help enrich their hands-on learning and critical thinking skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hoffer's classroom raised $353

This project is fully funded

My Students

I have a group of twenty amazing four-year-olds. We are located in a small rural district in northeastern Oklahoma. The majority of the schools in our district are Title I. Our community has a very high Native American population, as it is the home for nine Tribal Nations. Many of my students are experiencing being in a school setting for the first time. We are preparing them and building a foundation for them to continue to become successful scholars.

My Project

This project is an assortment of tools to help enrich hands-on learning and critical thinking skills. We are asking for tools to use in the sand and water table. The sensory table, as we call it, enriches the students' social skills, beginning literacy and math skills, and their fine motor skills.

Pre-K is the foundation of social, fine motor and the beginning literacy and math skills.

We are also asking for a Code-A-Pillar, which is a tool to help students strengthen their critical thinking skills, by learning beginning coding skills.

We also are asking for trays, so when we are making a mess, we have a place to work!
