We have truly grown together this year and have so much more time to explore our learning. The materials you provided have especially provided us opportunities to experience different ways to learn. \r\n The big blocks have been used every day since they arrived to our classroom. It is so amazing to see the creativity, teamwork, and problem solving that goes along with an open ended material. Even clean up provides a challenge to determine how to make sure they all fit safely on our windowsill. \r\n The mini letter magna tiles inspire my little learners to be very interested in letters. We have used them to build words, names, and even tried to create an alphabet line. I personally like how the children can match the capitals with their lowercase letter. \r\n It means so much to me that we were able to fund this project because of such caring donors like you.
