They immediately began using the white boards to practice addition and subtraction problems, which has made math lessons more engaging and interactive. The sensory toys have been especially helpful during moments when students feel upset, giving them a calming tool to regulate their emotions and return to learning more quickly. We also used the markers and paper to create a Hispanic Heritage Month project, where students made colorful posters to celebrate and honor Hispanic culture. Seeing their pride in displaying their work around the classroom was a wonderful moment.\r\n\r\nThese resources have truly transformed our daily routines and projects. My students were thrilled when they first saw the materials and couldn't wait to dive in. Moving forward, we will continue to use the white boards for math practice, and the art supplies will support upcoming seasonal projects and writing activities.
