Learning Manipulatives and Supplies

Help me give my students more manipulatives to help with their learning and development.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Athena's classroom raised $747

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project is based on helping students have more appropriate, fun, and engaging manipulatives and supplies to help support their learning, growth, and development.

These materials will give students more organic opportunities to gain important developmental skills such as sorting, color, shape, letter, and number skills, and artistic outlets.

Our students enjoy painting, gluing, and drawing. I am excited to work with them using developmentally appropriate and safe scissors to work on their fine motor skills.

Our students have a range of abilities and we work to make sure they can all develop their skill sets further based on where they are.
