Their faces lit up as we opened the boxes together, and they couldn't believe the supplies were just for them. Something as simple as a warm hat and gloves on a cold morning or tissues when a student has a runny nose can help a child stay focused, participate with confidence, and fully engage in our classroom. Because of you, my students can spend less time worrying about their needs and more time learning and growing.

When I pulled out the new mats, they all wanted to do gymnastics and yoga, a few of the kids even thought we could have wrestling matches on them! The first unit we did was Winter Olympics, and the sturdiness of these new mats made them perfect to put on scooters to pretend we were bobsledding, as you can see from the photos they had a blast. We also used them for gymnastics stations, and for yoga. I'm hoping to get more use from them next year, as I ordered them fairly late in the school year.
