Students looked and acted as if Santa had came on Christmas morning!\r\n\r\nImmediately we were able to replace old, incomplete learning activities and replace them with new, educational, and fun activity centers. For example, one of the learning centers provided was to match upper and lowercase letters using plastic sea shells hiding in sand. Another activity center included magnetic math boards which allowed students to count and match numerals to their appropriate sets. New floor puzzles was also a very popular one as well as new Lego blocks for their construction center that were not broken and faded. \r\n\r\nStudents were so inquisitive as to where the gifts came from and even asked why would a stranger send gifts to us?
