The stools give students additional flexible seating options, while the dry erase boards allow them to show their thinking and participate in lessons in a more interactive way. The filing folders help us keep classroom materials organized, and the new crayons, markers, and pencil sharpener ensure students have the supplies they need to complete their work. These resources are making our classroom a more organized, engaging, and welcoming place to learn. \r\nMy students were so excited to see all of the new materials arrive! They especially loved having new supplies to use and being able to take advantage of additional seating options. It's always exciting for students to receive something new for their classroom, and they were eager to start using everything right away. They truly appreciate having the tools they need to do their best!\r\nWe will continue using these resources throughout the school year as we work on building our skills across all subject areas. From using dry erase boards to practice math strategies and brainstorm writing ideas to using our new art supplies for creative projects, these materials will play a role in our everyday learning.
