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.
