My students need 1 set of Life Science Puzzles, 6 sets of Follow the Dots Math Number Stamps, 6 Giant Number Sense Sets, and 9 child friendly stamp pads.
Our school motto is "Today a Reader, Tomorrow a Leader." We strive to teach all of our students that their voice makes a difference in our world. What our students learn today will stay with them throughout their lives. Kindergarten is the foundation of all learning.
My K-5th grade Title I public school is in a rural area located a few miles from the beautiful coast of North Carolina.
We serve many English as a second language students and have a diverse group of learners. As in most rural communities, jobs are scarce and money is tight. With statewide district cuts, we must make the most of our supplies. My Kindergarten students work hard and take care of our classroom supplies. They read, write, draw, cut, and paste daily to apply what they have learned. Research shows that hands-on activities are critical for students who struggle academically or behaviorally.
My Project
Science concepts can easily be learned while putting together the puzzle pieces. Puzzles are fun but require thoughtful contemplation as you visually piece together the colorful puzzles that illustrate essential concepts. Math number skills and proper manuscript can develop while having the fun of stamping on newsprint! My students will enjoy learning decomposing and composing numbers as they use the Number Sense stamps. My students will have so much fun they will not realize they are learning Science concepts and vocabulary, Math number skills such as counting, addition, and subtraction. They will also learn proper manuscript writing of the numbers by using the traceable numeral stamps to show their answers. The washable stamp pads are needed as students use the math number sense stamps and the numeral stamps. The different colors of the stamps will help differentiate the groups and also give students a choice.
I would absolutely love to have these resources to help my students develop the critical thinking skills and essentials concepts they need for Math and Science.
By helping my class with these items you will empower their minds to grow and reach further than ever before. Please make this possible for my students.
