Help me give my students manipulatives to include more kinesthetic learning in our classroom!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ortega's classroom raised $216
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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 Kinders are an inquisitive group! They are curious about the world around them and are always eager to learn. Giving my students a variety of manipulatives will help them feed their curiosity and continue to make learning engaging!
A majority of my students are kinesthetic learners.
Manipulatives and STEM-based toys allow my learners to retain information better than traditional teaching.
Having STEM toys for my students will cater to the wide variety of learning styles and also help awaken skills that are not always available in traditional teaching. My students deserve to be well-rounded learners and have all the tools available for them to be truly successful! Having hands-on manipulatives will allow all students to showcase their talents and abilities!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
