I am beyond appreciative of your generous donations!! This class is a group who sure does deserve all these brand new, FUN things, and I am so happy I did this project. The kids are some of the sweetest I have ever taught, and they are enjoying this stuff thanks to YOU ALL!!\r\n\r\nSeveral times per day, the students are allowed to work anywhere in the room. All the cushions and chairs have provided many different ways to use flexible seating. They especially like the chairs! Although we have carpet, the floor is quite hard, so the cushions provide some extra comfort, which they love!\r\n\r\nThe birthday crowns and birthday seat cover makes their birthdays (or half birthdays) extra special. They really have enjoyed showing off the seat cover especially to other teachers and kids who come into the room- no other teacher has anything like this! It truly is the perfect touch for a first grader who is excited for their big day!\r\n\r\nFinally, the magnetic tiles have provided SO much fun and imagination during these long, snowy, winter months, as we have been stuck inside for indoor recess for a long while now. The kids have built trains, castles, towers, buildings, and more. This is by far the most FAVORITE of all our new things. \r\n\r\nI am humbled by your generosity and kindness. THANK YOU from my students and from me.
