The rolling cart, shredder, and small light have already made a big difference in how smoothly things run in our classroom. We've been using the light during nap time, which helps us prep materials quietly without disturbing the kids. The cart has been a game changer too with keeping supplies neat, organized, and ready for the next activity.\r\nThe shredder has come in handy as well. It's allowed us to recycle old papers and turn them into fun sensory materials the children love using during art time. They were so excited to see the new supplies and are really enjoying how everything is now within reach and easy to find.\r\nYour generous support has helped us create more engaging, hands-on activities and a calmer, more structured learning space for our students.
