My students can be seen smiling, sharing, and growing.

We have learned \"We Don't Eat Our Classmates\" and \"Pass the Pumpkin\" in Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grades. We learned \"Captain Go Sidetrack Your Train\" in 3rd and 4th grades. And the 5th and 6th graders reviewed \"Pass the Pumpkin\" from previous years and had a blast all getting to play at the same time. \r\n\r\nThank you for giving us another tool to learn letter names, notes, rhythms, steady beat and so much more.

We were able to use the new book to learn about important school skills for building a classroom community of learners right from the first days of school. The padded cushions have helped us to define different learning spaces in our room, as well as add comfortable, flexible seating options. And the light table and TPT gift card have already been used to enhance independent learning centers for my students. \r\n\r\nWe also use our new whiteboards every single day in our classroom. Each student uses their own whiteboard daily during both math and literacy instruction. These whiteboards allow me to monitor student progress quickly and easily and to provide immediate feedback during lessons. I have had zero complaints from students this year about whiteboards that don't erase or that are broken or dirty, and it has been absolutely fantastic!\r\n\r\nI am so happy to have all of these wonderful tools to help my students.

When the new classroom supplies arrived, my students' faces lit up with excitement and curiosity. They eagerly explored the fresh crayons, sturdy folders, and colorful markers, and immediately began using them in our small group reading and writing activities. One memorable moment happened during our story mapping lesson: each student used their own set of markers and sticky notes to chart the beginning, middle, and end of our class read-aloud. The supplies allowed every child to participate fully and confidently, sparking both creativity and teamwork.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, these resources are helping us dive into collaborative projects and creative learning every day. Next, our class will be using their new materials to write and illustrate their own stories, building both literacy and art skills.

When the kids walked into the room and saw the chairs their first question was, \"Do we get to sit in those?\" These extra large bean bag chairs are a hit in my classroom. The kids love to take their book or their computer and plop down on the beanbags. The chairs themselves are large enough for two kids and they sometimes try to fit up to five on them. You would think that it could turn into a source of off task and goofing off behaviors in the classroom. But it actually is an incentive to work harder and be focused because it is a privilege to sit in the chairs. The chairs are also a great place for a student who needs a minute to chill and unwind or destress. They are comfortable and easy to move around the room. We love them!\r\n\r\nThe weather station has been a great way to get kids to talk about what is going on around them and also to record and talk about data. The extra heavy duty pencil sharpener is amazing.
