My Project

Hello! I am a first year first grade teacher. The items I have added will allow my students to have manipulative to enjoy during centers and indoor recess time. As a first year teacher I don’t have many items for my classroom yet. By getting some items from this project I would know that my students have things to enjoy and learn with in my classroom.

Manipulative play is very important for students this helps them with skills such as playing with other children as well as working on there fine and gross motor skills.

I am very excited to serve these students this school year and I am trying to make sure they have everything they need to have a safe and fun learning environment.

These manipulatives are also a great screen free way for students to have fun and play with there friends this would be great for inside recess or any times were students are in the class but need some time for play and learning!

Thank you!
