Learning with Manipulatives

Help me give my students manipulatives to support their learning during play time.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Walker's classroom raised $751

This project is fully funded

My Project

Kindergarteners learn through play, so several play times are incorporated throughout the school day. Playing with manipulatives that relate to our current lessons are very popular and keep the students interested and entertained while they learn.

The Alphabet Sounds Teaching Tubs will be used with our students who need extra help learning their letter sounds.

The Alphabet Train floor puzzle with help with learning letter order. My students will benefit from these toys while learning their letters and sounds.

Another area that we work on frequently in Kindergarten is working with our emotions. My students have some big feelings! The Gel Bead Emotion Friends will help us name our feelings, and the Sensory Rings will help comfort as we work through them.

The other items support our various learning units throughout the year and will be enjoyed by students this year and beyond.
