My scholars loved everything that they received. I wish you all could have seen the excitement on their faces when they saw what was in the boxes. It warmed my heart to be able to know that someone loved my class that much to donate to us. \r\nMy kinders and myself would like to tell you thank you so much for your donations to our learning environment. As we have increased our love for learning scholars have been soaring through our class books. If only you could hear how they have been practicing sounding out words and learning new ones you would be overjoyed as I am on a daily basis. It amazes me how they started off just looking at pictures and making up stories; yet now they are actually reading the real story. \r\nWe were able to build our own 2-D shapes during our recent math project using our in-class playdough. I think I have some future architects in my room or even some engineers.
