Before, we often had to share materials, but now each child can dive in, experiment, and create independently. I even have enough materials to have extra items to use as incentives for positive behavior or to use during indoor recess. For example, the Marble Run STEM activity is a top choice for indoor recess. \r\n\r\nLooking ahead, I'm excited to continue using these STEM resources for our \"soft start\" mornings. It is the perfect way to start the day. I owe this success to all you wonderful donors.
