We use various manipulatives in our classrooms- pattern blocks, unifex cubes, geo boards, scales, dominoes, counters of various shapes and sizes, magnetic letters, linking cubes, dice etc.

Technology
We each have computers in our classrooms that we use in conjunction with our instruction throughout the day. We also visit the school computer lab each Friday for additional instruction. We also use iPads in our instruction. **We really need volunteers for computer lab time each Friday morning, for the a.m. class and afternoon for the p.m. class, if you can volunteer for the lab on Friday please notify your child's teacher. All of the classrooms also have Smart Boards that the children will be using during instructional time, center activities, whole group time, small group and individual activities. *If you are an "expert" in any technology area & would be willing to help out in class please let us know- we welcome additional assistance. Some classrooms will also maintain a "shutterfly" site & we welcome help with this site also- all work can be done from a home computer.
