My Project

Manipulatives in first grade take a beating over time just because they are worked with often in a hands-on classroom setting. Ours have been loved so much that they have fallen apart or in some cases, are no longer useable!

The manipulatives in this project will be put to good use over the next several years!

The cardstock will be used to create more pages of their math toolboxes that we began a few years ago as well as individual anchor charts for the classroom tables. The students LOVE to pull these out and use them daily for needed helpers.
