These supplies have already become essential tools in our daily learning groups. The excitement on my students' faces when they first saw the new materials was priceless. They were eager to dive into activities and couldn't wait to use the colorful markers during our math and literacy rotations. One memorable moment was during a small group phonics lesson, where students used the dry erase markers to practice word building on whiteboards. Their engagement and confidence soared as they proudly shared their work with peers.\r\nWe've incorporated the pencils into our writing station, where students are currently working on personal narratives. The new supplies have helped create a smoother, more organized learning environment, allowing students to focus more on their creativity and less on searching for materials. These tools have truly elevated our classroom routines and made learning more interactive and fun.\r\nNext, our students will be diving into a project-based math unit focused on place value and data collection. They'll use the dry erase markers to solve problems collaboratively and the pencils to record their findings in math journals. Your support has made a real difference, and we're so grateful for the opportunity to grow and learn with these resources.
