My students need some "Magna Tiles," "Crystal Climbers," and some "Soft Blocks." I want them to use their imagination, share, and use their fine motor skills.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lawson's classroom raised $257

My Students
As a child I used to play with wooden blocks, build things, and make race tracks with my brother over and over again. As a teacher, I need every resource I can to help students develop their imagination and become creative. This is why I am requesting these "Hands-On" tools for my kindergarten class.
I have 47 students because I teach two kindergarten classes, one in the AM and one in the PM.
My students are busy, happy, bright, and inquisitive. Our day goes by so quickly in kindergarten. I want my students to have the opportunities they need to develop strong hands for writing, sharing, building, and creativity skills.
My Project
I believe these "Hands-On" activities will give my students many opportunities. These tools will help them with sharing, working as a team, and using their imagination. My students also need help with their fine motor skills, so they will be better prepared to write. With the "Common Core" these little ones need all the help they can get.
I do not have any of these "Hands On" tools right now in my classroom.
But I believe having "Building Blocks," "Magna Tiles," and "Crystal Climbers" will help my students with many skills that are needed for Early Childhood development.
