Hands-on Learning in a Virtual World

Help me give my students great math manipulatives and an iPad to use for remote and in person learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Nelson's classroom raised $980

My Students

My classroom is full of energetic 5 and 6-year-olds. They are hungry to learn but the pandemic has affected them so much in their little lives. Many of them did not have the opportunity to attend preschool or even socialize with kids their age before starting kindergarten.

We are working on appropriate behavior, following directions and social-emotional skills that have been directly affected by how the pandemic has changed our world.

They have already come a long way and are such sweet little people.

My Project

There are many ways that an iPad will be very useful during this crazy time. When we are able to do our learning face-to-face I can use the iPad to track data quickly as I walk around the room instead of having to pull kids out of our learning environment individually. We will also be able to use it as a document camera so students can see what I am modeling for them. When we are learning remotely, I can use the iPad to make videos, create screen recordings and meet virtually through Zoom.

Math manipulatives are such an important tool for students to have access to.

Since remote learning started, our students have had less opportunity to experience hands-on learning. I stepped into this classroom with very short notice in November after a teacher left and there are not very many manipulatives. I want to give my students the chance to cement mathematical concepts using hands-on learning when we are in person.
