My Students

My scholars are exceptional beyond measure. They continue to put forth their best efforts in light of these unusual times. They are always meeting my expectations in classwork and behavior. I really want to have resources to practice at home so they will achieve mastery of all of their kindergarten skills.

My Project

Manipulatives can be important tools in helping students to think and reason in more meaningful ways. Through the usage of these requested resources, I plan to give my scholars concrete ways to compare and operate on quantities with manipulatives such as pattern blocks, tiles and cubes, allowing development of well-grounded, interconnected understandings of mathematical ideas.

Manipulatives are physical objects that are used as teaching tools to engage scholars in hands-on learning.

Many of the requested manipulatives will allow the scholars to complete more kinesthetic learning, engaging the scholars on a more appealing level. From letters to sounds, to counting quantities, these manipulatives will allow more student led teaching, pushing the scholars to solve a problem or create something on a higher level of thinking.
