The Judy clocks quickly became a favorite—we used them right away to practice telling time during math, and students were so excited to hold their own clocks and move the hands themselves.\r\n\r\nThe classroom stools and organizing drawers have already helped our room run more smoothly. Students love having extra seating options for small groups, and the drawers and zipper pouches are keeping our supplies neat and easy to find. Even something as simple as paper towels and command strips has made a big difference in helping us keep our space clean, organized, and welcoming.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our classroom feels more like a community space designed for learning. Next, we'll be using the Judy clocks to dive into elapsed time problems, and the stools and storage will continue to support group projects and independent work.
