My Project

My students love to do hands-on activities with others. They get so excited when I let them play with blocks and other building materials during math centers and inside recess.

Although I spent all of my school supply money ($95) on manipulatives for the students, I was barely able to provide enough supplies for 4 centers.

My students will thrive with a wider variety of manipulatives to work with. While they feel like it is play, it is a way to help them develop their imaginations and increase their math and science skills.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
