Loving Literacy

Help me give my students hand2mind VersaTiles to help them improve their literacy skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Crane's classroom raised $346

My Students

I teach fourth grade at a Title I school in Michigan. My students are always so excited to learn new things. My goal is to provide them with multiple ways to learn and show their learning. This year, my students have a wide range of abilities and instructional needs. I need ways to help best reach them as learners.

My students are a fantastic group of kids who enjoy learning.

I am on a mission to pass on my love of learning to my students. My classroom is a haven for them. I want to provide many fun and engaging learning opportunities for them, along with a comforting environment.

My Project

My students are an eager group of students. They love to learn and engage best with tasks that are hands-on. The past year has been challenging for my students. They are extremely below grade level and have been working hard to improve their literacy.

These VersaTiles will be a great addition to our classroom intervention.

They will allow my students to work on skills independently and check their answers. It will allow me to encourage students who are not part of an MTSS group so every student is receiving a positive intervention.

I can't wait for my students to get their hands on these VersaTiles. They have already shown show much growth this year. I know that they are going to soar with these new materials.
