One special moment was during small-group centers at our new Heavy-Duty Adjustable Group Table, where students worked together to build words using the CVC Words Giant Activity Dice. They were fully engaged—asking questions, sharing ideas, and helping one another—making learning both fun and meaningful.\r\n\r\nThe students were thrilled when they first saw all the materials! They love using the dry erase boards, markers, and erasers to practice writing, and they especially enjoy using chalk outside to explore and create. They've also had a blast with the dice poppers, colored dice, and the tabletop pocket chart, turning learning into a playful, hands-on experience.\r\n\r\nBecause of these tools, I've been able to bring lessons to life in ways I couldn't before—through collaborative projects, interactive writing activities, and hands-on learning centers. Next, we will continue using these resources to strengthen skills, foster creativity, and build confidence in reading, writing, and math.
