My Project

It’s a fact that kindergarteners need to play and explore to learn!

Let’s make learning fun by adding math games like the math pop it game, colorful dice, and magnetic letters to the classroom!

These manipulative are a great addition to our center play time, small groups, and manipulatives for independent work.

Our stem items like the number treats and math pops are adorable, fun, and colorful addition to learning!

Fun items like things will help students reach learning goals, help the classroom feel like a comfortable and fun place to learn, and will also help to socialize with others.

Let’s help these kindergarteners learn and grow with these fun stem items!
