The headphones are super comfortable for students to wear. The kids were so excited to start using the Play-Doh! This, along with the pencils, helps us grow our fine motor skills early in the school year. \r\nAll of these materials - from colorful headphones to perfectly sized pencils and laminating pouches- are things we use every single day in kindergarten!

We use these new supplies every day. The pattern blocks are part of math centers where students can build rockets, houses, and animals. The dry-erase whiteboard is used during small groups, and the kids love coming up and writing on it. The folders have been one of the biggest helps as they keep the students' daily work organized. \r\n\r\nThank you again so much for supporting our classroom.
