It helped tremendously in terms classroom efficiency, morale, and in some ways creativity. The Chair Storage Pocket was a great factor in keeping the classroom organized.\r\n\r\nThe crayons piqued the students' curiosity because of their triangular shaped. That definitely helped during clean-up since the crayons were never on the floor from rolling. The students also appreciated the dry-erase markers since a lot of the handwriting curriculum requires quick-write-quick-ease activities.\r\n\r\nThe students also liked the Write & Wipe Pockets because it helped them with math activities. It also gave them a sense of ownership when I made it their responsibility to put their own worksheets inside.\r\n\r\nThose are just some of the ways your contribution helped.
