We have received the supplies, have set them up, and have been using them often. The students were so excited when we received the package with supplies! \r\n\r\nEach week, the students are introduced to a new letter and its sound. The alphabet tubs have been a great addition to my alphabet lessons! Students are able to use the objects in the tubs to identify and learn the corresponding letter and sound. So far, students have learned the letters A,M,S, P, and T. They loved the little apple, mouse, sun, pickle, and turtle in the corresponding letter tubs. \r\n\r\nStudents are excited to hold and manipulate the objects within the sound tubs. I truly believe this excitement and the manipulative objects are aiding in the students' learning of the letters and sounds- in a fun way!

It has been a game changer for us. We were working with tables that were old and wobbly with scratched tops. We now have the opportunity to be flexible with our groups. This helps us with finding kids that work together well and gives us the opportunity to create new groups when there isn't a good fit. We have multiple types of tables now that allow for individual seating and these new tables that seat 4. It has made behavior management easier and created an environment that allows for collaboration between groups.

Our decodable books have arrived and we have started using them in small groups. The students are loving the addition of these non-fiction and fiction stories. Recently, students learned about digraphs (two letters that make one special sound). Students learned about the voiced and unvoiced sounds of /th/, along with the digraph /sh/. After learning these new sounds, students were excited to read the stories \"On the Path\" and \"A Fish.\" Thanks to your donation, students are able to practice and expand their new skills by reading these stories. The students are so proud of themselves when they read a story all on their own! Thank you again for supporting my classroom project.

My students love using the sensory writing pads in my kindergarten classroom! We use them weekly during small and whole-group instruction. Students get to practice writing letters and words in a fun way. They love \"erasing\" their writing pads by smoothing out the gel. They get so excited when I take them out! \r\n\r\nThe first time I showed them to my students was during small group instruction. One of the little boys in my group said, \" These are the coolest things I have ever seen!\" Usually, this particular child has a hard time paying attention, but he was very engaged during the whole lesson. Keeping a young child engaged all day can be challenging. That is why I believe it is so important to find new things to keep my students excited about learning. I have found that my students retain information better when I can incorporate games and hands-on materials. \r\n\r\nWithout your financial assistance, I would not have been able to purchase these for my students. Not only will this class get to benefit from them, but many additional classes for years to come!
