This includes phonics and sound manipulation. The materials purchased through your donation have been used daily since they arrived.

This is such a difficult concept for children of this age to grasp and the math tools you so graciously provided helped them understand this a little easier. \r\n\r\nThe Kindergarten math students are currently learning all the ways they can add two numbers together make a total of 10. Using the giant number bond magnets has been a highlight for these kids to showcase their knowledge to the entire class who watch from our rug. \r\n\r\nAlthough these are only two instances of how you have impacted mathematical development in our youth, I have many more plans for the other items you provided when we return to school in the fall.
