Math Manipulatives & Books to Help Our Learning!

Help me give my students books and math manipulatives to help with their academic and social emotional learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shigenaga's classroom raised $996

This project is fully funded

My Project

All these books and math manipulatives will be used to help my students with their academic and social emotional learning in the classroom. Due to Covid, many of my students are behind in math and really need a lot of social emotional learning.

These wonderful picture books and math manipulatives will be put to good use in our third grade classroom.

I plan to use these manipulatives to help students in small groups or for independent work time. The picture books will be used during our read aloud time at the carpet. Being able to do small groups and carpet time with my class has been an awesome feeling after dealing with Covid these past 2 years.
