School Supplies Recently Purchased With you Support


Bean/Seed Box

This box of beans can be used for various educational activities.   Students can sort the legumes based on size, texture, color, shape, food preference, name etc. They can also use them for counting, adding and subtracting practice.
 Lupas: Magnifying Glasses

Students can use these to examine things in their environment including the box of beans.  Children can interact with the world on a closer level and understand that things are more than they appear to the eye.  Science, art, math... it all can be included.
Sorting Objects

With the use of recycled egg cartons or coffee cans, students can sort various objects into categories.  For example, they can place all pink buttons in one section, separate the standing army men from the squatters, sea animals from farm animals etc.  And, they feel like they are playing!

Paint, Foam Letters/Numbers and Popsicle Sticks












Letters/numbers have many uses including letter/number identification.  Paint and popsicle sticks are great to incorporate into art lessons and decorating trash.
