Your kindness truly did not go unnoticed, my jaw honestly dropped when I saw that our project was fully funded within just two donations! Our secretary wheeled down the boxes, and my students were so confused. They had no idea why I was so excited about an Amazon delivery.\r\n\r\nThat curiosity quickly turned into pure excitement as I opened the boxes and explained each item one by one. With every reveal, their smiles grew bigger and bigger!\r\n\r\nThanks to you, we are now able to play \"I Have, Who Has\" during morning meetings, promoting higher-level math thinking along with collaboration and communication among peers. And with the gloomy, frigid weather we're experiencing here in Indiana, every single item has been a huge hit for indoor recess. We are loving the Legos and can't seem to get enough of Tetra Tower or Jenga!\r\n\r\nWatching my students explore, create, and build relationships through play has been incredibly rewarding, it would not have been possible without you.
