The basketball hoop and balls have given those students an amazing activity to do on the playground. Before your donations, all the playground had was a play structure.

It also allows them to carry their supplies to a different table when we work in small groups or they work with a partner.\r\n\r\nThe tablet paper is use for daily messages to the class. I write a note to the class each day to read during morning meeting with the date and information about the day. Each message ends with a question prompt for kids to \"vote\" on an answer or to discuss and make a list. At the end of the day I roll up the note and the helper of the day gets to take it home.

They feel like they can pick up an awesome book and not be intimidated by all the reading. The Dragon Girl books are a perfect step up into chapter books. They have larger print and are a quicker read than many chapter books. Both book sets are helping my students transition into chapter books for these reasons, but the best part is the topic is something students this age love to read about. \r\n \r\nThank you so much for your contribution to my classroom!
