The leaf carpet has made for a great new space for seating to present material on my smartboard for those who have a desk that is too far from the screen.

A few have taken very quickly to using the tablets with previous experience, but had never seen it as an option of a classroom tool before. Your more than generous donation is being greatly appreciated by the students. \r\nThank you for the headphones as well. Thanks to you, our students now have the equal opportunity to have headphones which are especially useful during standardized testing on our Chromebooks.
