Thank you so much! The letter tubs have become a favorite classroom activity, thanks to our class mascot, who secretly hides them for the children to discover. The excitement of finding a new tub is always a highlight - the students thoroughly enjoy exploring the objects inside and discovering items that begin with each letter. During center time, the children get to explore, play, and learn with the manipulatives, keeping them engaged and excited about their learning. It's wonderful to see their enthusiasm grow as they make meaningful connections between letters, sounds, and the world around them!\r\n\r\nThe ink pads have also been a fantastic addition to our classroom. We use them for our memory book activities, creative art projects, and shape-stamping activities during math centers. These versatile materials provide our little learners with fun, hands- on opportunities to explore their creativity while building important early learning skills. We are so excited about all the ways we can use our new materials and we are incredibly grateful for the generous support that makes these meaningful learning experiences possible.

It is wonderful to see their excitement about reading!\r\n\r\nWe are using these books during independent reading time, read-alouds, and reading comprehension lessons. Students are practicing important skills such as making predictions, identifying the main idea, and discussing characters and events. Having a wider selection of books allows students to find stories that match both their interests and reading abilities.\r\n\r\nOur next step is to continue building reading stamina and encouraging students to share their favorite books with classmates through book recommendations and discussions.
