Help me give my students the materials needed to practice upper and lowercase letter matching skills and numeral to object matching as well as working on their fine motor skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Pierce's classroom raised $502

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Kindergarten students are still in the concrete stage of learning. The materials that I am requesting will allow my students to improve their fine motor skills while also practicing their upper and lowercase letter matching skills.

Students who are ready to put their phonics skills to the test will be able to use the word builder games to build many different words using pictures and letters.

They will then be able to build simple sentences using the Aixweb Sentence Building activity set.

These manipulatives will not only support my students in their academic growth it will allow them build friendships while working and learning with their peers.
