The resources from this project have been a tremendous blessing to the students in my kindergarten class. When the materials first came, the students were all smiles and excited to each get their very own big pink eraser. The erasers help them in a big way when they are correcting the mistakes in their writing.\r\n Surprisingly enough, my students really enjoy their writing block! We have been teaching on Opinion Writing and preparing for a writing assessment in a few weeks. Students will have to showcase what they can do, on their own, without any help. This is why the writing block is a very important part of our day. \r\n The Lined Chart Paper, writing paper, and dry erase writing mat have been wonderful writing materials contributing to the success of all of my students. We have been using these resources daily and the students have really improved. This would not have been possible without your donation.
