The way you have impacted my classroom is indescribable. You have provided learning materials that I will be able to use with my students for a very long time. The whiteboards we are using help us spell words, learn digraphs, and practice math facts. My small group students are impacted greatly with this tool by visualizing math instead of just using mental math. The Play-Doh has helped us form letters with a nonstandard tangible item as well. When my students first saw the materials they received, they couldn't believe someone in the world could be so kind to donate these things. I had to convince them I did not buy the items! \r\n\r\nThe next steps in our project will be to continue using our wonderful materials and to pass on the kindness. We have been lending some of our materials to other classrooms to use.
