The \"person of the day\" chair and the bean bags have been so much fun to use. \r\nThe beanbags are utilized in my reading and read to self stations. Students are also able to use these often for rewards. \r\nThe person of the day chair is a special spot where each child gets to sit when they are the helper of the day.

The students couldn't wait to open it up and explore. Their faces lit up when they saw the Magna-Tiles, playdough stamps, droppers, and other hands-on tools. Right away, they began building towers, experimenting, and sharing ideas with one another.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments was watching a group work together to design a structure with the Magna-Tiles. At first, their tower kept collapsing, but instead of giving up, they talked through new strategies and tried again until it stood tall. That small project showed just how much these materials encourage teamwork, problem-solving, and perseverance.\r\n\r\nThe students are already more engaged in their learning because of these resources. They are discovering how fun it can be to explore, test, and create while working together. As the year goes on, we'll be using these manipulatives in a variety of ways during our math and science lessons—whether it's measuring and comparing, learning about balance and stability, or exploring cause and effect through simple experiments.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has given my students the chance to grow as learners in ways that feel exciting and meaningful to them.

But something we work on daily is sharing and taking turns. When we get something new or exciting sometimes it's hard to wait our turn or share so I always love these opportunities to work on social skills. \r\n\r\nThank you for giving my kids this opportunity to work on their fine motor skills and social skills with new fun puzzles, games and toys.
