Hands-On and Engaging Learning Materials

Help me give my students these supplies to make our learning environment fun and engaging!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Whitman's classroom raised $563

My Project

COVID-19 has brought me learners and they are further behind than ever before this year! I want to give these little minds some fun and hands-on learning games to reinforce some of the skills that they may not have learned or mastered. I think that making learning more fun and engaging for them will allow me to work with small groups during intervention while they are working and engaged on their own. The materials that I have submitted are hands-on learning games and center materials that I plan to use for this. Students will rotate through centers, like the letter name and sound fishing game, building CVC snap on words game, “typing their spelling words,” using the keyboard pop its, sorting animals into the “animal zoo,” etc. While they are engaged in their independent center practice to reinforce important phonics skills, I will utilize this time to pull small groups to work on reading, writing, etc.

The glow sticks, neon cups, and highlighters will be used for “glow themed” day.

I will turn off the lights and use black lights to make the day exciting and fun! The kids will get to write in highlighters during the day which will make all their work “glow.” I will write their sight words on the neon cups and they can read and stack the words. I will use the glow sticks as pointers to “find” sight words hidden on neon paper around the room.
