These are exactly the materials that early education teachers need, but are not given for whatever reason! So my heartfelt thanks goes out to all of you seeing this deficit and providing our students with hands on learning materials! They are engaging, fun and help students of all abilities who are visual, auditory and kinesthetic learners. Students can take risks easily and also see and hear when they need to self-correct. It builds a strong foundation for children to build phonemic awareness. Understanding that letters are made up of sounds helps children to read and write fluently.

Additionally, this stand will function as a magnet tile center, allowing students to engage in creative play during free choice time.The magnetic stand will also act as a visual anchor for daily activities, reinforcing the predictable structure that helps young learners feel secure and focused.

Additionally, I am seeking materials that will aid in developing their math, literacy, and fine motor skills, all while maintaining their interest in our environmental unit of study.\r\nThank you!I'm thrilled to hear about your plans! To support your environmental unit, you might consider incorporating hands-on activities like planting seeds and observing their growth stages. Students could keep a journal to document changes, which enhances both observation and writing skills. For math, using natural materials like pinecones or leaves for counting and sorting can be an engaging way to teach basic math concepts. Additionally, literacy skills can be developed through storytelling sessions about the life cycles of different organisms, using books or digital resources that offer rich visuals and narratives.","fullyFundedDate":1683587382824,"projectUrl":"project/learning-about-life-cycles/7359443/","projectTitle":"Learning about Life Cycles","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Baldino","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5825039_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1611412313474","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kelly-baldino"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_127383","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":14,"percentBlack":16,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":34,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":78.3,"schoolId":127383,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about District 31- The Richmond Pre-K Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"District 31- The Richmond Pre-K Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/the-richmond-pre-k-center-woodrow/127383"}
