Hands-on Learning Centers

Help me give my students building blocks, phonics sets and other hands-on learning centers to practice our literacy and math skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Minezaki's classroom raised $669

This project is fully funded

My Project

We will be using these centers to reinforce the math and literacy skills learned in class. These are developmentally appropriate and fun activities that students can do independently so that I can meet with small groups or individual students. We will use them throughout the year to make learning more fun and hands-on.

Learning center time gives students the opportunity to gain confidence and have fun!

I have chosen activities at different levels to meet the various academic levels in my classroom and to cover the needs of students over the school year.
