The materials you provided have transformed our learning environment and deeply engaged my students.\r\nThe Insect Lore Butterfly Pavilion was an absolute highlight. The students could not stop observing the caterpillars transform into butterflies. This hands-on experience allowed me to pair the pavilion with a butterfly unit, which perfectly kicked off our broader insect unit. I was amazed by the complex academic language these young students used to describe each stage of the life cycle. Additionally, the Science Viewers were a massive hit. The images look so realistic that the children kept reaching out to try and touch them! Your donation of the storytelling kits has also fostered a deep love for literacy. Pete the Cat is the absolute favorite. The students constantly beg to keep the kits out so they can retell the stories. The detailed pieces have allowed them to retell these narratives accurately and completely independently.

My students are curious and eager to learn. Thank you so much for these resources. These resources will help my students develop in several areas. Majority of my class are still learning their letters. The puzzles are helping my students develop their fine motor skills by putting the individual letter puzzles together along with looking at the different pictures that begin with the letter. My students enjoy matching their letters with their friends. I am so excited to observe and listen to their conversations on how they keep each other accountable to take turns and request things from their friends. I love observing the imaginative play they do with the Alphabet Robots. \r\n\r\nMy students were overwhelmed with excitement looking at all the new resources. They thought it was Christmas and their birthdays all over again. They immediately wanted to open all the resources. However, by me opening the new resources in front of the students provided me with an opportunity to remind them how to take care of our classroom supplies. I made a huge deal on how they are the first people to play with the items. My students have been inspecting the supplies and making sure all the items are in the right containers. \r\n\r\nThe end of the year goal is for my students to learn at least 20 letters and sounds in order to help them get a head start for Kindergarten. These resources will help them reach this goal in a fun and engaging way. These valuable items are helping them gain familiarity with the uppercase and lowercase letters.
