Help me give my students a variety of hands on literacy manipulatives for learning!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Wheeler's classroom raised $179

My Project

My goal is to make learning a fun and joyful experience for everyone!

I believe that students learn best through play and activities they enjoy.

In my classroom, I try to make learning as fun as possible. I need your help to be able to do that!

I am requesting a variety of hands on materials to use during my small group literacy instruction. In first grade, we work very hard building foundational skills in literacy and these items would help students understand phoneme isolation, substitution, manipulation, and so much more!
