Light Up Our Learning

Help me give my students a fun and engaging way to learn/grow during reading and math centers.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Carlin's classroom raised $745

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our classroom will use these materials to learn and grow during our center time. These materials are hands-on and fun keeping little minds entertained while giving chances to explore and discover. My students come from diverse backgrounds where they do not always have chances to explore in different unique ways! I believe all children deserve a fun and engaging education. These materials will help me replace old activities and are a lot more fun than paper games printed on a black-and-white printer. I am looking forward to seeing their faces light up!
