It has created a fun, creative, engaging and happy learning environment. All of my students love the decorations in the classroom which has created a welcoming and calm classroom, the vines and butterflies are utilized in the calming corner and are put in the hallway above the door to help them adjust into the environment. The students love the paint sticks during art time; it is a fun and mess free way for them to express their creativity during art activities. The items that are used the most are the floor cushions and noise cancelation headphones; during circle time I have the students sit on the floor cushions which a comfortable seating option for my students. Our next project will be to create homemade crafts for Mother's Day, as well as creating our own caps for the upcoming kindergarten graduation. We truly appreciate all of the supplies that were donated, you have had an amazing impact on my students and their experience in the classroom.
