This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are some of our youngest learners. I currently have 25 students. They have been home for the last year and just recently came back to school full time. They are a group of diverse kids with many different levels of academic readiness.

My Project

My project is for manipulatives and organizational bins for the items in my classroom.

I am excited to receive some fun new manipulatives to motivate and engage my students to build and create.

After a year of not being able to play with others, these manipulatives will give my students the opportunity to engage with one another. They can learn how to share with each other and work together to build, design, and use their imaginations to create.

I am so excited that they get this opportunity to work with each other and fun new manipulatives.
