I'm so grateful for your support. Thanks to you my students were able to engage in a variety of engaging, academic activities. One of my students' favorite activities was using play-doh. We used play-doh to build students' fine motor skills which, helped with their writing mechanics. I love the story paper from this project because, it allows students to represent what they learned visually with a picture and in writing.\r\n\r\nIn addition to play-doh and paper, my students enjoyed using the dry erase boards. We used these during reading, writing and math. My students were eager to participate anytime white boards and dry erase markers were involved!
