Your kindness means so much to our students and to us as educators.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our students will have more opportunities to create, build, imagine, explore, and learn through hands-on experiences. The glue sticks and popsicle sticks will become art projects, STEM creations, and opportunities to strengthen fine motor skills. The dramatic play kitchen items and community helper costumes will inspire our students to use their imaginations while developing language, confidence, cooperation, and social skills.\r\n\r\nThe writing pouches will help our kindergarteners stay organized and take greater ownership of their learning, while the additional classroom rug will give us a welcoming space for small-group instruction, reading, collaboration, and learning together.\r\n\r\nWhat may seem like simple classroom materials to others can make a tremendous difference in the daily experiences of young learners. Your generosity helps us create a classroom that is joyful, engaging, and filled with opportunities for every child to grow.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and helping us make their kindergarten experience even more meaningful.

I had to tell them it is not the type you ride on but the type you write on. They love using the boogie boards to practice writing their spelling words and have free time to draw.\r\nThank you for the fidgets.
