My Project
As a dedicated and career Kindergarten teacher I have come to learn which companies have some of the best tools, resources and manipulatives for student success. Manipulative tools from the hand2mind company are some of the best (if not the best) in the educational world. They have partnered with numberblocks to create hands on math materials. These visual tools will be the perfect addition for our math class as a visual aid. Especially the teen numberblocks, which show how a group of 10 is created and how many extra ones are needed to represent that teen number. This visual tool is a unique tool for a primary classroom that will help my students so much when learning about our teen numbers.
Visual aids, fine motor tools and hands on materials are what my students need to enhance our classroom space to ensure continued student success.
Much like hand2mind, Learning Resources is another company that is one of the go-to companies for primary classroom teachers for resources for fine motor needs, social-emotional needs and overall elementary-aged appropriate materials, that sometimes can be difficult to find. What is more important is the price point and the quality of the materials!
From a triceratops sensory toy to a fruit nesting manipulative to a hedgehog fine motor toy, all of these materials will go a long way in my students' mental supports and SEL needs in the classroom space. Fidget keychains as an end-of-the-year reward to close out an amazing year with a set of amazing students too.
Everything has a reason and a purpose in our classroom space, which can be enhanced in many ways.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
