The fruit snacks were their absolute favorite treat.\r\n\r\nWe used the glue and shaving cream to make slime for science! The play doh was used not only be creative during indoor recess, but also to work on fine motor skills while making words. They loved play doh Fridays! Like the play doh, we used the chalk not only for recess but also for learning time! One of my coworkers had a wonderful idea to create hopscotch for blending words together. \r\n\r\nOnce again, none of this would be possible without kind people like you.
