Taking Control of their Learning!

Help me give my students hands on manipulatives that will enhance their learning experience.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Niles's classroom raised $670

This project is fully funded

My Project

Students will be able to take part in a hands-on and engaging approach during Math with the manipulative that you gift them. Personalized binders will also allow students to keep track of their work and progress. This creates an environment of ownership pertaining to their personal educational journey. Having the opportunity to showcase what they have accomplished or areas of growth puts them in the front seat beside me as a facilitator. TPT has always been a great resource to supplement my teaching to ensure that all learning types are reached.
