My Project

Kindergarteners need hands-on ways to learn to read. They also need materials that have multiple uses.

My students love using stamps and magnetic letters to create words, but I am in need of more letter stamps and magnetic letters.

Right now I only have enough supplies for a group of 4 and would like to have 6 students working at a time. Also, our stamp pads are WORN OUT! I would love to replace them with washable stamp pads for easy clean up. My students who are reading need the challenge of the beginning, middle, and ending sound stamps.

I have the Splat math games for addition and subtraction and they are a classroom favorite. I just saw that there is a sight word version that I know would be a big hit as well.
