They took turns helping me unpack and set them up, proudly claiming \"their\" seat and admiring how perfectly they fit at our kidney table.\r\n\r\nSince adding the stools, small group time has felt brand new. The students sit taller, focus longer, and truly enjoy learning together. These materials have transformed our space into a more comfortable and inviting place to learn.

They worked together to design, test, and build all while laughing, thinking critically, and learning through play.

These hands-on tools have added so much creativity and excitement to our classroom! The magnetic blocks are especially popular. The students use them as part of our early finishers activities and during indoor recess on extremely hot days. Watching them collaborate, problem solve, and build with enthusiasm is a joy to see. The kinetic sand adds a calming, sensory rich experience that supports focus and fine motor skills.\r\n\r\nYour generosity directly impacts our students every single day.
