Help Emerging Readers Writers, and Math Learners Perfect Their Skills

Help me give my students more enriched math and literacy center opportunities. The wooden sensory bin tools and counting manipulative pegs would be the perfect compliment to our centers.

My Project

Prekindergarten students need various materials to practice and learn. Their hands need to be filled with various media of all shapes, sizes, and textures. The materials chosen for this much needed project fit the bill perfectly. Each item is colorful, engaging, and textured to capture and hold the attention of our early learners. The chosen items will also help them to exercise their pincer muscles for early writing benefits. Appropriate materials made accessible to early learners will propel and enhance their learning in kindergarten in all areas. They easily transition to writing when given engaging materials to practice with.
