Students are using them to design structures, create patterns, and experiment with cause-and-effect by building and testing domino runs. Through play, they are strengthening critical thinking, problem-solving, and early engineering skills in ways that feel joyful and meaningful. \r\n\r\nI have also seen incredible growth in collaboration. Students are working together to plan, adjust, and improve their designs, practicing communication, teamwork, and perseverance. When a structure falls, they don't give up — they rethink, rebuild, and try again. These moments are helping develop resilience and confidence that will support them far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this opportunity possible.

Whether they're jotting down observations during a science walk, sketching in the school garden, or taking notes during a read-aloud on the rug, their clipboards give them the freedom to learn anywhere.\r\n\r\nIt's amazing to see how something as simple as a clipboard can spark independence and engagement. Students feel like real scientists, authors, and researchers.
