We were in desperate need of a pencil sharpener, as ours was on its last legs. This new sharpener is so much more quieter, that it doesn't disturb anyone's thinking or conversation. The pencils were a necessity, especially at the end of the year when supplies run short and we scrape by to make our materials stretch. We also use expo markers daily for our math learning. Students prefer to solve problems on a white board. It makes learning more engaging and it's more fluid to check over work. The containers are extremely helpful for organizing our hands-on math centers activities. This makes planning and implementation a breeze. Students are kept engaged during math with a variety of spinners, dice games, puzzles, card sorts and tasks cards. The containers keep the activities organized by domain.\r\n\r\nYou generosity is greatly appreciated. Students need resources to make great learning happen. I appreciate your support and thoughtfulness, as do the students.
