Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 34

Each child got their own English language arts kit and a math kit that will hold specific manipulatives and materials for lessons to be creative. In language arts, the students had their own sight word rings. In math they had hands-on math manipulatives and counters. Each child would also had their own art supplies to illustrate their learning in artistic ways.

Young children learn by doing. Studneteds had the tools and materials that fueled their brains and allowed hands-on creativity during learning of essential curriculum standards. The students were able to make gains and understand concepts by using their own person manipulative kits! All studnets met their end of year goals and [assed assessments at 70% or higher.

Original Grant Overview

Goal

Due to the ongoing pandemic, our kindergarten students will all need their own supplies and materials. My goal is to replenish individual hands-on materials for art, math, and language arts lessons so that hands-on and creative learning can continue and thrive! The kits were created last year and consumable materials need to be replaced.

What will be done with my students

Each child will get their own English language arts kit and a math kit that will hold specific manipulatives and materials for lessons to be creative. In language arts, the students would each have their own sight word rings, alphabet stamps, wiki sticks and playdough to build, create, and learn to read new words. In math, pencil boxes would be filled with hands-on math manipulatives and counters. Each child would also have their own art supplies to illustrate their learning in artistic ways.

Benefits to my students

Young children learn by doing. As students will remain at their desks for learning it will be important to have tools and materials that will fuel their brains and allow hands-on creativity during learning of essential curriculum standards.
The students will be able to make gains and understand concepts by using their own person manipulative kits!
