The Vet toys will be in the dramatic play when we learn about community helpers, since a Vet is a community helper. The light up terrarium is one of my favorite items to be able to have set out for the kids! They all enjoy learning new things and the terrarium was the perfect addition to the classroom.

We have had so much fun with the scented markers that were purchased. The students love to ask their peers to smell their marker, or they ask to use the \"cherry marker\" instead of saying red :).\r\n This week we will get ready to start using some of the science items that were purchased. I am excited to do our unit on \"balls\" as we will do a lot of experiments to see which kind of balls roll the best. We will use the ramp that was purchased in order to test some of our hypothesis. \r\n\r\nI cannot thank you enough for your generosity for me and my students.
