The mesh bags for our take-home library have been a game changer, helping students stay organized and making it easy to bring books home to read with their families.\r\n\r\nWe've also been putting our art supplies to great use! Tissue paper, glue, and tape have fueled so many creative projects, giving students the chance to express themselves and bring their ideas to life. On top of that, the TPT gift card allowed me to purchase labels and materials for our take-home library system, as well as a few new art and math resources to enrich our lessons.\r\n\r\nEvery single one of my students is benefiting from these contributions.
