My Project

Hands-on learning is important for younger kids! These supplies will build my centers area for my students. We are at a low-income, Title I school in the country where supplies are very limited. Each activity will be used daily during our centers time to engage my students in fun learning! The rolling carts will help properly store all our centers and activities so students aren't losing all the parts!

This donation will help my students learn to share, use their hands for learning, and more!

Using a paper and pencil every day can get boring for 5-year-olds. With these manipulatives, they will be able to explore learning in multiple ways! Anything is appreciated!
