Help me give my students fun and engaging tools to enhance their math & reading skills!

My Project

As this school year came to an end, I realized how few math and reading tools I have to help my kindergarten students stay engaged and excited to learn. I am entering my third year of teaching this year and the majority of my supplies are old hand me down items. Many of which are missing pieces or broken. I would love to support my littler learners by offering them some fun tools to help them learn to read, write, and do math.

My goal is to use these tools to enhance their math and literacy skills by making learning fun with hands on tools, which is exactly what research suggests is most valuable to young learners.

Additionally, my hope is to support their reading and writing skills with these tools so that my kindergarten students are set up for success!
