Learning is Fun!

Help me give my students educational games and manipulatives to use in their homes during this time while schools are closed.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Akowitz's classroom raised $477

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are at home not being able to go outside, play at a park, or visit their friends. Most of them do not have any games or manipulatives inside their homes.

They are used to playing games to reinforce skills and having manipulative to help with certain problems for math while in my classroom.

With your help I would love to get some games and manipulative into the homes of my students while the schools are closed at this time.

My Project

My students are not able to leave their homes due to the quarantine in Michigan. Please help me get them some learning materials for at home and distance learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. My students need a variety of Math and ELA games as well as math materials and hands-on learning materials.

These games will help my students grasp the skills being taught while having a little fun.

The manipulatives will be used during my virtual homework hotline sessions with them.

Without these materials they are having a hard time adjusting to the new way of learning through distance learning. They are used to having these things inside the classroom to help them learn the skills needed in order to be successful for the following school year.
