Happy Word Bulding!

Help me give my students the magnetic letter and word building tools that they need to be successful in our 1st grade classroom.

My Project

These materials will make a huge difference in my 1st grade classroom. We work on word building everyday but we are using paper letters. It would be so nice to have magnetic letters to use on our white boards. The letters that we use get lost and ripped everyday. The children would love to have these manipulatives to use for our daily word building. Please help get these into the hands of my 6 and 7 years that really need these to improve their reading and writing skills. They would really appreciate your support.
