Help Us Create Letters Without Tears

Help me give my students wood letters, CVC word builder, magnetic pocket chart, and play sticks

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Chin's classroom raised $303

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My classroom is never quiet, but sometimes we need some help with learning our letters. Using the manipulatives from Learning Without Tears to put letters together, and having the Playstix can make letters while having fun. Having my students know their letters and sounds will help with learning how to sound out words a little bit easier. Learning should be fun and exciting. I would love the materials to help keep my students engaged with their learning. I want to thank you in advance for all that you do for my class and classes around. We are all so grateful.
