They did a great job working together and cheering each other on. Since then, they've been asking me daily, \"When can we get the games out and play them again?\" I've told them we'll have plenty of rainy and cold days ahead to enjoy them.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making this possible.

Students are identifying letters and building words that we are currently learning. These materials make it easy to modify lessons and allow students who are more advanced to build larger words.

The love to cuddle up on them and use them while they work and read. \r\n\r\nWe are also using and loving the digital picture frame. I am uploading pictures every week on it of exciting and fun moments I have captured in our classroom. The students love seeing themselves on display and will often ask if I can take a picture of their work or a project so it can be displayed. \r\n\r\nWe will continue to use our materials daily for the rest of the year.

Watching the guppies swim and the snails interact with their surroundings has sparked curiosity and excitement, leading to meaningful conversations and collaborative problem-solving.
