Help Me Answer My Students' Burning Question

Help me give my students the answer to their burning question ...How much time do we have until lunch?

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Nelson's classroom raised $334

This project is fully funded

My Project

Mrs. Nelson, "How much more time do we have until we go to lunch? How many minutes until we go home?" asks every student.

The classroom-sized timer will help students track time, learn to count by 5s, and answer their burning questions!

The Magna Tiles (master set) and Playstix will engage my future engineers in creativity and strengthen their fine motor skills. The mini whiteboard erasers will be used daily with our dry erase markers and whiteboards. We use them for writing, math, and phonics.

The jumbo craft sticks will be used as student "call sticks" to fairly call on all students.
