They are just completely amazed with how fast it sharpens and how sharpen the pencils get and I love their excitement over the little things. We recently got to use the markers to make some signs for out special olympics team and they were very excited. We have also been using our white boards for all the subjects (sight words, math, small group). They were so excited to have new boards as our old ones are stained and falling apart.\r\n\r\nSo I want to thank you for putting a smile on my students faces!
