The supplies that were purchased from this project have definitely helped us to begin the school year off right. The large class time has been an immense help in classroom management and helping students gauge their work time. I see students always glancing up to see how much time they have left to complete assignments or finish their discourse. The large push pin magnets have been a life saver in being able to display student work and class anchor charts. My students love the Dr. Seuss pencils, and I love the pre-sharpened pencils. Students enjoy writing with their Dr. Seuss pencils, so work is so much more fun to do. We save so much classroom instruction time since we don't need to sharpen new pencils.

They could stay there for a very long time, if I allowed it. \r\n\r\nMy students are now begging me to start a new project to get more seats so that everyone in the class can have one.
