I'm not exactly sure what kind of magic makes so many pencils disappear in an elementary school, but we sure have experienced a lot of it this year.\r\nDry erase markers are used so often that we are constantly throwing ones that have died in the trash. It's became almost a little joke in here from all the dying markers that we even had a moment of silence for all those we lost. (LOL) \r\nCardstock is worth its weight in gold to me.

One of the questions the kids always ask when we talk about the atrocities that occurred is, \"Even the kids?\" . When I answer, they always pause and think.\r\n I can always see their little minds spinning trying to comprehend the stories. The gift you have given by providing these books will impact the kids in my class by teaching them there are things in this world they must watch out for, oppose, and guard against.

Before we received our tables, students were sitting very close to each other around one table. This made it very difficult to have conversations about math concepts and collaborate without being distracted by everyone else at the table. We felt like sardines.\r\n\r\nWe love our new tables. Students now have space to spread out and be fully engaged with their partner or small group. Students have been working on their multiplication facts through games. They have worked on solving complex math problems as well as teaching each other procedures for performing basic operations.\r\n\r\nHaving these tables provides space for us to work. Not being on top of each other also provides a calm, organized area that eases the stress of working in a small space. I plan to give my students more problem-solving activities in the future.\r\nThank you so much for donating to my project.

They will zip up the tent and sit in the dark taking a break until they have calmed down enough to return to the classroom. The tent is a great addition to our room!\r\n\r\nAt our sensory station, students take turns using our light boxes with the sensory box fillers. We have totes for them to dig around in or light tables for them to look at the different colors the shapes produce. One student in particular loves to build mountains out of the start gems!
