Hands-on Learning!

Help me give my students these durable sand and water activity tubs for hands-on work in 2nd grade!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Dunham's classroom raised $334

My Project

These sturdy plastic tubs are just the thing that my second-grade explorers need in order to get dirty in the classroom! These colorful tubs are large enough to let multiple children explore a variety of "messy" materials within the classroom.

Children need to have opportunities to get their hands dirty in the classroom!

These bins will be used for loads of science and sensory explorations from gutting pumpkins and delving into the plant life cycle, to a space to provide sensory breaks for kids who need an outlet. These tubs will allow me to give my students the experiences they need in the classroom.
