Due to your generosity my students are off to a great start. The colored folders help us keep track of our work. All colored post-its are helping students keep track of what they are reading in our chapter books. They are able to jot down what is happening in that chapter to help them remember what the whole book is about by the time they reach the end. We also use post-its for students to write down what they are learning about in class so they can share with other students. Other school supplies donated were colored index cards and scratch pads to solve problems, write down ideas, and organize our writing. Students are also using the pens to correct and edit their assignments in class. Our new styluses have been helpful for students to use on their iPads to complete assignments in class.
