Your donations have already made such a positive impact on how our students are learning and engaging in the classroom.\r\n\r\nThe hands-on materials have been especially helpful during our center rotations. The letter materials pairs well with our Handwriting Without Tears curriculum and give our students different ways to practice and engage with their learning. Our students especially love using the letter stamps in kinetic sand! The ink stamps also provide an opportunity for students with fine motor difficulties to practice gripping and forming letters in a fun and hands-on way.\r\n\r\nThe letter lacing activities have been another great tool for building fine motor skills while learning our letter of the week. And, of course, the art smocks have helped us stay a little cleaner during all of our creative art projects!\r\n\r\nWe truly appreciate your kindness and generosity. These supplies and learning tools are being put to great use, and our students are having so much fun learning with them.
