Soft Start and Learning Manipulatives

Help me give my students games, STEM activities, and math and reading manipulatives to support their learning throughout the day.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Tyner's classroom raised $488

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students begin each day with a soft start where they play with STEM activities. Starting our day this way allows students to ease their way into our very busy academic day. Beginning our day this way helps support my students as they transition from Kindergarten to First Grade giving them much needed time to explore through play.

First grade is a pivotal year in learning.

We use manipulatives throughout our learning to help support student understanding of the concepts being introduced and practiced. These counters, alphabet beads, building tiles, and other supplies will aid my students in both their social emotional and academic parts of their day.
