Hands-On Learning!

Help me give my students manipulatives and art materials to build their social-emotional and cognitive skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Jess's classroom raised $687

My Project

Many of my students come from military families and most of their lives have been affected by COVID-19. When students get emotional or anxious, they have benefited from manipulatives and art experiences. These materials will help students calm their bodies while building physical and cognitive skills with items like the Tegu blocks, and build creative skills with items like sandpaper and felt. Through the Manna Pro Harris Farms Incubator, students will be able to observe the life cycle of a chicken with their own eyes, building concrete and memorable hands-on experiences.
