The students were very excited when they saw the divider boards for the 1st time. The divider boards allow us to take our assessments and to complete other important work without worrying that others are looking at our answers.

My young readers absolutely love using them! They help keep our classroom calm and focused while giving students the chance to hear their own reading more clearly. This small tool has made a big difference in building confidence and fluency for emerging readers. It's amazing to see their faces light up when they realize how much better they can hear themselves read.\r\n\r\nThe folders you helped us purchase have also made a world of difference in keeping our learning materials organized.

It may seem like a simple supply, but in a busy kindergarten classroom, that kind of organization is everything.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your kindness and for believing in the importance of early education.
