They really love that now they have a diverse set of colors to use, whereas before they only had the basics to color with. \r\nWith the cleaning problems we are able to keep all the materials clean and healthy. Since we are in the middle of cold and flu season I have been able to keep up with student use and clean the materials. The kids appreciate that they can use the materials without the worry of getting sick. \r\nLastly, the books have been a big hit. My students enjoy them when they finish work. They are able to learn more about personal finance and money then what I have been teaching them in my class through the books. \r\nThank you again for your generous donation.

They absolutely love them and use them constantly during centers and independent work time. The ability to move around the room easily has made a positive impact on their engagement and comfort. Whether they're working individually or collaborating with peers, the chairs have helped them stay focused and energized throughout the day.\r\n\r\nWhen the chairs were first delivered, my students were beyond excited! As soon as they saw them, they couldn't wait to sit in them and give them a try. The excitement was contagious, and they immediately began experimenting with rolling around the room. It was such a joy to see their faces light up and feel the enthusiasm in the air as they realized these new chairs would make their learning experience even better.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making this all possible.
