Seeing their smiles as they organized their materials and showed off their seat sacks was such a joyful moment!\r\n\r\nHaving these seat sacks has made our classroom more organized and helped students feel responsible and independent.

This project has brought so much joy and meaningful learning into our kindergarten classroom.\r\n\r\nThe Numberblocks figures are used during play-based learning, allowing students to explore numbers, build creatively, and engage in math conversations through play. The addition and subtraction Numberblocks puzzles, however, are a key part of our math centers. During these structured center times, students use the puzzles to practice important skills such as counting, number recognition, and solving simple addition and subtraction problems in a hands-on way.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, my students were thrilled to see the familiar Numberblocks characters. Their excitement carried right into learning, as they eagerly worked through puzzles and proudly shared their thinking with peers.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we will continue to use these resources to strengthen number sense and problem-solving skills during math centers, while also encouraging creativity and collaboration through play.

Once we unrolled the new one, we were welcomed with that wonderful \"new rug\" smell. It was the students' idea to create rules for the new rug to keep it staying new. Since day one, every student has abided by the newly instated rules!\r\n\r\nThe size, shape, and design of our new rug is more conducive to our classroom space. Each student has their own \"apple\" to sit on, and we can easily assemble in a circle for Morning Meeting. Students love to relax on the rug to read a book, play a math game with a partner, lie on their back to do mindfulness exercises, lie on their bellies and practice their heart words on whiteboards, or spread out to watch Wild Kratts. So many memories have been made at this rug.

When the students first saw the cookie shop, their faces lit up with pure joy. They immediately began assigning roles—bakers, decorators, customers—and the room buzzed with imaginative play. Students worked together to \"mix\" ingredients, design colorful cookies, and proudly run their pretend bakery. It was the perfect example of how open-ended materials spark creativity, collaboration, and meaningful learning in our classroom.\r\nThe excitement doesn't stop there! In the coming months, students are eager to explore the veterinarian's office, flower shop, and farmers market. Every morning, they come in ready to dive into STEM activities that encourage them to build, invent, and use their imaginations.
