These resources have already been put to great use in our classroom, and I'd love to share some highlights with you.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the air-dry clay, they were thrilled! After reading Alma and the Worry Stone, we used the clay to make our own worry stones. Each child carefully shaped and decorated a stone, and the excitement on their faces was priceless. They were so proud to take their creations home, and it gave them a meaningful way to connect literacy to hands-on creativity.\r\n\r\nDuring STEM bin time, the magnet tiles quickly became a favorite. The students were immediately drawn to them and started building towers, houses, and even spaceships! What makes this so special is that the tiles encourage collaboration. Students eagerly share ideas, solve problems together, and express their creativity while working as a team.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, the students will continue to use these resources to strengthen their creativity, teamwork, and critical thinking. We're planning to incorporate the STEM materials into math and science lessons, so students can make real-world connections while still engaging in play. The organizational supplies are also helping us keep everything neat and accessible, which allows for smoother transitions and more time for learning.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has truly brought joy and inspiration into our classroom.
