Your donation has already made a significant impact on the classroom and the students. The amazing area rug allows students to have an alternate place to sit and learn without having to sit in the desk all day. It gives them a chance to be comfortable while engaged in their learning. As well as the flexible seating cushions that can be used around the room. The students have really enjoyed having the dry erase boards, markers, and erasers to practice their multiplication facts. The snacks and candy has been a great incentive for students to work hard on the learning. I also made them goodie bags that will be placed on their desks during state testing to keep their brain power going during lengthy tests. The legos and markers have been added plus to the flow of learning in out classroom. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for the awesome donation to our class!

I put some of them in centers so they are were able to explore with them right way. \r\nWe are currently studying all about colors. We are mixing play-doh to create new colors and talking about those new colors. Primary colors and secondary colors along with making colors and naming them on their own.
