Pop It, Spin It, Fidget All Around

Help me give my students cross-curricular pop its which can be used as sensory items, math manipulatives, and a new way to practice spelling and sight words.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kerestes's classroom raised $179

My Project

I am always looking for new ways to present lessons and activities to students. I am looking to get Pop It sensory toys to not only help with sensory breaks but also in math and reading. These Pop Its come with numbers on them which allow students to practice math facts. In addition, they also come with letters on them. These would be a great addition to our reading groups to practice sight words, spelling words, and vocabulary words.

My students enjoy learning in alternative methods, and I believe these materials will help motivate them to do their best.

In addition to Pop Its, I am hoping to get magnetic letters to give another method of practicing sight words, spelling words, and vocabulary words. We are also looking to get new fidget spinners as the ones in our classroom are becoming worn. Being at two different schools, it takes double the supplies to make sure my students are getting what they need. We appreciate any support and thank you for your consideration.
