This project helped to provide cleaning materials, safety precautions, and fun experiences for my students. \r\n\r\nOut of the many items that I received, I feel most thankful for the smart plugs. I have all of my lighting connected to them, so in case there is an emergency, we can make sure to be as safe as possible. This is something that I hope we never have to experience, however I am so thankful that I can be as prepared as possible.\r\n\r\nWhen my students saw the mosaic sticker poster, they were SO EXCITED to start working together to complete it. I am using it as a schoolwide initiative to read. Any time a student finishes a book they can add a sticker, and when the entire poster is finished we will have a party in the library! It will be such a fun way for the entire school to work together and see their reading progress.
