My Project

I have been using a lot of hand2mind materials this year and the kids not only love them they are soaring! I find myself scrounging for more and more materials to challenge them!

As teachers we are always thinking outside the box for new ways and materials to teach and challenge our students and hand2mind is an excellent resource!

I am requesting a set of Vowel Owls for vowel sorting, alphabet chips for letter identification and spelling and an alphabet kit full of wonderful literacy activities. By providing these materials for my students, it will help their understanding and knowledge of the alphabet, sounds and words. These materials will also be used to differentiate each student’s learning.

These kids are some of the sweetest little 5 and 6 year old children you can imagine meeting. They smile so big as they come down the hall and greet their classmates in a variety of different languages, yet seem to understand each other. They work hard and love to learn. I am very blessed to teach them!
