Although they may seem like a small item, the pencil holders (seen at the top edge of the desks in several photos) are a game changer. The students used to have to pull out their whole box from their desk each time they wanted to write with their pencil. So much time is now saved because the students can just reach to the top of their desk, grab their pencil and begin their work! The holders also save the pencils from rolling off the desks and breaking so time is saved going back and forth to get a new pencil!\r\n\r\nAs you can see from the photos, the Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) gift card allows me to provide the students with many engaging projects and learning activities. During Hispanic Heritage Month, the students learned about many individuals' lives and how they persevered through trials, used their experiences to succeed in life, and how they used their knowledge and talents to benefit others. After that they used the TPT portraits to choose one of the people we studied to create colorful pictures. The TPT opinion writing templates I was able to purchase are helping the students progress through the writing process and have fun while doing it! We just celebrated the 67th day of school, you know 6...7! The TPT 67 booklet allowed the students to have such a great time while practicing their number formation, addition facts, fact families, writing of word problems, and writing an acrostic poem. \r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you so much for all you have done to enrich my students' learning experiences!
