The cardstock paper has been perfect for creative projects like posters, flashcards, and visual aids, while the pencils are being used daily for writing and drawing. These supplies have made lessons more interactive and organized, helping students stay focused and enthusiastic about their work. The back-to-school essentials have also helped foster a sense of community, as students share materials and collaborate on group activities!
