The electric pencil sharpener has also been a huge hit, and the kids love helping me find pencils that need sharpening, which builds responsibility and independence.

I have noticed students returning to the letter activities again and again, proudly naming letters, helping friends, and experimenting with sounds.\r\nBecause of this project, letter learning has become a joyful part of our day.

The stapleless stapler makes it easier for little hands to assemble papers safely and make cute books, while Post-its and painter's tape helped me hang up visuals and save my place in education reading I've been doing.
