My Project

In our endeavor to cultivate a sustainable future, education emerges as a key player. At W.E.S., we are dedicated to both fostering young intellects and conscientiously tending to our environmental impact.

Manipulatives stand as indispensable aids in education, elevating understanding and engagement across diverse subjects.

However, the prevalent use of disposable materials in these resources contributes to avoidable waste. Through our initiative, we aspire to transform this landscape by embracing reusable alternatives.

With your generous backing, we intend to procure a diverse array of reusable manipulatives, ranging from math counters and geometric shapes, storage pouches, reusable water bottles, to science models and language tools. These robust resources will not only endure years of classroom utilization but also markedly diminish our dependence on single-use materials.

Mrs. Shinshiro
Grades 3-5
