Many of them expressed how happy they were and treated the materials with great care, showing true appreciation for something that was just for them.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we are focusing on incorporating more play-based learning into our classroom. With the toys and resources you provided, students are working on counting, hands-on exploration, and building their natural curiosity through learning centers.
