The pencils have helped them write narrative stories, solve many math problems, as well and write for science and social studies. The wiggle seats have helps some of my students get their wiggles out and it helps them focus on the content we are learning that day.

We've only been in school for a couple of weeks, but the kids are so enthusiastic about the upcoming projects we will be doing this year just seeing the different items being unboxed.\r\n\r\nThe kindergarteners have loved using the paint daubers to bring color to their \"Silly Suns\" project. Cutting out cardboard for sculptures has been so much easier with big scissors than little scissors. All of the kids love to paint. But when students saw the shimmer of the metallic paint, they got sparkles in their eyes! We have some fun sculpting projects coming up in all of the grades with the clay. \r\n\r\nThank you again for your donation.
