Hands on Learning is Fun!

Help me give my students hands on learning materials to make learning fun!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Whitman's classroom raised $619

This project is fully funded

My Project

These are hands on learning games and materials that will help make learning more fun for my first grade students!

These materials will benefit our reading, writing, and math lessons by giving students games and activities to do that are so much fun that they won't even realize that they are learning!

I have added math board games, play money, hands on fraction manipulatives, LCD writing tablets, water writing games, and more. By donating to this project, you will help give students who were previously behind at at a disadvantage due to COVID disruptions a chance to catch up and practice learning in a fun way!
