Your donation allowed us to bring artistic joy back into our classroom. We were able to purchase watercolors, acrylic paints, paint sticks, playdoh, and more for our students to use and explore. \r\n\r\nSo far, a classroom of second graders and a classroom of kindergartners have been able to use these supplies; I anticipate that they will last for up to one more year! \r\n\r\nWe use the playdoh almost every day. It is an amazing tool for young hands and minds and it fits into just about every curricular category. We love to use it during literacy and math centers as well as for social emotional learning. While we use the paints less often, they bring a similar amount of joy and excitement.
