Because of your generous donations my students have been enjoying meaningful playtime daily in my classroom. The items that were donated have encouraged my little learners to engage in more hands on play. I have noticed my students becoming more creative with building little towns and communities. They are using the magnatiles to build \"skyscrapers\" and \"castles\". They often use the town rug that was donated to add to their structures and have the best time driving their little toy cars around. These items in particular have encouraged them to work together and use their imaginations!\r\n\r\nIn addition to the little cities my students love to create, they are truly loving our art easel and art station that was donated. The art area is a highly preferred area in our classroom now. My kindergarteners love to visit that station and make things for eachother. It has really encouraged them to make kind notes and pictures for their peers, teacher, or members of their family. Thank you for the donation of our new classroom easel. It's been so fun to watch the kids get so excited for all the items donated and see how they play and create together. I appreciate your donations so very much!
