Higher Level Skills in Kindergarten!

Help me give my students manipulatives to engage and build their knowledge during center time!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Grulkey's classroom raised $560

This project is fully funded

My Project

I have chosen these manipulatives to give my students higher level thinking skills during their centers. We do centers across the grade so every student benefits from the skill they are working on. I am not able to meet each student's need based on not having what I need so this project will allow me to reach each student's needs. In kindergarten, they are learning the basic skills to read so having these cvc manipulative’s will allow them to become better writers and readers. I am excited to use each tool during our literacy centers to help them master those skills. Mastering cvc skills is such a fundamental and important skill for these students.

Learning should be fun and fit their needs!

My goals for this project are to give all students a little bit of fun while still helping them learn the skills that they are working on in small groups with me as well as independently.
