However, with the help of you, they now have materials that make stations FUN! They absolutely love the smelly markers and they use those when they are working on their spelling words. The colored pencils and crayons also help with their creativity and making their work their own. The cart that we got donated helps with organizing their materials so that they can keep better track of it all! Lastly, the anchor chart paper is great for the projects that we do in class for group work. \r\n\r\nWe are so thankful for your generous donation!
