Having these additional resources allows my first graders to have more hands-on learning opportunities and gives them materials that help make our classroom a fun and welcoming place to learn.\r\n\r\nMy students were so excited when they first saw the new materials! Their smiles and excitement made it clear how much these items meant to them. They could not wait to start using everything. One of my favorite parts has been watching them explore the new resources and seeing how excited they are to use them during our lessons and classroom activities.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, we will use these resources during whole-group lessons, small-group instruction, independent practice, and other classroom activities. My students are continuing to build their reading, writing, math, and social skills, and your generosity is helping provide them with the tools they need along the way.

They love playing Battleship and proctice using coordinate pairs to sink each others' ships. While playing Life, students get the opportunity to read aloud bigger numbers and make \"life\" decisions. Checkers has been a good tool while teaching strategic plays and consequences. Also, the pop up dice is used for many board games that I have made to review other math concepts.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your financial contribution.
