The 10 drawer cart has been wonderful in helping my students be independent during small group rotations. They can grab a drawer with an activity and sit at their table and work while the teachers are working with other students. It is a straight-forward organization system that works well with my students. When I first introduced the new independent station system to them they were very excited to use it on their own!\r\n\r\nThe art drying rack has been a great addition to our classroom. It frees up shelf space where we used to place wet art work and is now a separate space out of the way. Children can place their art work on the shelf and get it on their own at the end of the day. The best part is that the shelf can collapse when not in use.\r\n\r\nMy students have had so much fun with the new magnetic white boards! I introduced the learning materials in small group where we identified numbers, counted, and wrote numbers. After small group the students could choose to work with the magnetic white board on their own in center time.\r\n\r\nThese are materials that students will be able to enjoy and utilize year after year.

They could not wait to explore and play with the new toys. \r\n\r\nRight away children were using the new light table legos to build structures. Throughout center time you could hear the children calling the teachers' names to look at their creations. They were so proud of their work! It was fun seeing their faces light up (from the table and from happiness!).\r\n\r\nI am so thankful to have these resources and materials to use for years to come.
