New Magnetic Letters Needed

Help me give my students new magnetic letters for upper and lowercase words.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Schmidt's classroom raised $173

This project is fully funded

My Project

In my literacy station, we use magnetic letters everyday. The station is designed to help students practice the vocabulary words for that week. My classroom has not had new letters in 10 years. Since we utilize these letters daily, they are getting worn out.

My first love participating in the Vocabulary Station using the magnetic letters.

Students will form various words using the letters. In some cases, students create sentences using the magnetic letters. Students are able to learn to recognize letters and form them into words by using the magnetic letters. You can provide new letters for my students by supporting this project.
