Hands-On Word Exploration

Help me give my students the ability to explore words in a hands-on way

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Putman's classroom raised $580

This project is fully funded

My Project

We are in need of materials to help their young minds grow and expand. These materials will allow my students to truly explore the components of words in a way that engages all of their senses. We will use these supplies in small group settings with students who need an additional layer of practice to help words come to life.

My students love learning in a hands-on way!

Every student in my classroom approaches learning in a different way. By meeting my students where they are at, I am able to ensure that we are all able to actively participate in their learning.
