The sensory table was a huge hit and we have been using it during science time the most. Our dry-erase board is where I'm able to model how to write letters correctly. It's great to be able to move it around the classroom for both small and whole group learning. Our copy of \"The Rainbow Fish\" has been great for learning concepts of print as well. Overall, these supplies have fit right into the learning environment and have given my students more opportunities to learn through play.
