It is a really nice way to learn, alongside writing, that really helps students be engaged and grasp the concepts we are teaching. \r\n\r\nThe playdough is such a fun way to learn, and makes students so engaged and willing to try new things to expand their learning.

We are working to build English literacy and working towards students being successful outside of school. The writing materials provided have greatly increased student success in working towards these goals. My aim is that students feel comfortable and competent in expressing themselves in English by the time they are finished in my classroom. The impact of your gift goes beyond these four walls as students can take skills they learn with your support to become functional contributors to society who could one day work for an amazing organization like 3M! \r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for your generous contributions to this classroom it stretches beyond our class and into our community. \r\n\r\nThank you for believing in these students as much as I do.
