Hands-on Learning

Help me give my students magnetic numbers and letters, stampers, and other math and letter manipulatives.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Martello's classroom raised $423

This project is fully funded

My Project

The manipulatives I am asking for will help my students grow in their math and reading skills.

Kindergarteners learn best through play and these educational play-based manipulatives would be a perfect addition to our classroom.

The number and operatives manipulatives will give students the ability to manipulate numbers in different ways to help them learn to count, add, and subtract. The letter activities are great for learning and practicing letters as well as spelling words,.

These math and letter activities will give students multiple ways to learn their kindergarten skills.
