Hands on Fun in Kindergarten!

Help me give my students a richer experience in our classroom by getting more hands on projects with use of the paper, pens and the manipulative toys during our day together!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Anderson's classroom raised $994

This project is fully funded

My Project

The students in my class will benefit from this project because they will get to work on their social skills while using the manipulative toys during cooperative play. They will be enriched during language arts, science and Social Studies by using the art/paper supplies and pens to create projects that show what they learned. Many of the students were impacted during Covid-19 by not being able to attend a pre-k program. They may not have had opportunity to be with other children their age and get to be in a learning environment. I wouls like to make the first year in their educational journey a very memorable year.
