They were excited and curious when they first saw the materials, and many of them immediately wanted to explore and share what they noticed with their friends!\r\n\r\nWe have also been using the donated clothing to celebrate diversity in our classroom. The students enjoy seeing and learning about different clothing styles and cultures, which has created meaningful opportunities to talk about how we are all unique and special.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our studies, the students will keep observing, comparing, and learning about different insects and their characteristics.

We've been using it to talk about different cultures, traditions, and diversity. The students were so excited to see the new clothes in our dramatic play area. They couldn't wait to try them on and use them while making up their own stories and playing together.\r\n\r\nWe also really appreciate the social-emotional support items! They have been a big help for some of our friends with different disabilities and give them extra ways to feel comfortable, calm, and included in our classroom.\r\n\r\nWe're going to keep using all of these materials as we read, play, learn about different cultures, and practice working and playing together.

I believe that the highlight was watching friends that couldn't identify letter finally match them and find objects that start with the letter. \r\nThese items are going to be so useful for many school years to come.

The impact is not just seen at school it is also noticed and nurtured at home as well. Because of the hands on experiences they were able to have here they have encouraged more parent involvement in science and nature activities. \r\nMy students have started to ask more questions about other science topics we can explore and learn about. They are so excited to ask questions and 'write' in their journals.
