Growing And Learning Through Play!

Help me give my students the opportunity to develop a love of learning. These small group materials will do just that! The storage bins will allow student to keep organized and have easy access to these materials.

My Project

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students will allow them the opportunity to develop their reading, math and fine motor skills all while having fun!

Being able to develop a love of reading and math at an early age will help set my students up for success.

Having the uppercase and lowercase stamps and washable ink pads along with the CVC word cards will allow my student to build their understanding of letters and sound. The pattern blocks, design cards and rainbow counting and linking set will help my students to learn shapes and patterns. My students will be able to count and sort items by using the Dino MathLink Cubs, Counting peg board and the rainbow counting and linking set.

All of these amazing items will need a way to stay organized for easy access. The hanging file box, mesh zipper pouch, and storage bins will allow my students to do just that. All of these things are possible because of your generosity, my students and I can't thank you enough.
