We use the matching alphabet unicorns and dinosaurs during our literacy centers to practice letter recognition and uppercase and lowercase matching. These hands-on tools have helped students stay engaged while building important early reading skills.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, my students gathered around the new toy bin with wide smiles and eager questions about what we would use first. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and it carried right into our first morning bin activity. The math counting ice cream cones quickly became a class favorite, encouraging students to count, check their work, and support one another.\r\n\r\nNext, my students will continue using these morning bin activities to strengthen their independence and classroom routines. As they rotate through centers, they are learning to collaborate with peers, take responsibility for materials, and grow more confident in their letters and numbers. Your support has helped create a joyful, welcoming learning environment where every student feels excited to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1760712107909,"projectUrl":"project/miss-marshalls-project/9831992/","projectTitle":"Miss.
