They get to practice letter sounds and use the tiny mirrors to see how to make these sounds with their mouths. They also use the white boards and dry erase markers when we practice spelling and sentence writing. They are truly sharpening those skills for the next grade level! \r\n\r\nAs we come to the end of the school year, I am confident that the benefit that my students got from your generosity will not end in my classroom.
