The small group learning that has been completed with these numeracy kits has brightened up our days. \r\n\r\nOur students especially love being able to sharpen their own crayons now. They love having a space for their supplies on their chairs. I can tell they have ownership of their space and that is all thanks to you!\r\n\r\nWhen my students saw the supplies, they were amazed! They were so surprised and excited to use their new materials. \r\n\r\nOur students learn best with hands-on activities and manipulatives.

They are big enough for two students to comfortably work together, but also great for the kids who want to work alone. We currently have one set up as a regular height desk in our calming corner for students who need to take a minute for themselves, and two set up as standing desks. \r\n\r\nThe biggest highlight of the desks for the kids has to be the swinging foot petal. They absolutely love it!! The request has been made to lower the other two desks to sitting height once in a while so that they can use both feet.

My students have been using these manipulatives every morning when they first come into the classroom to work on building their fine motor skills and promote creativity. They absolutely love these resources and were so excited when I told them that these were donated to our classroom to use. It felt like Christmas morning in my classroom- so many laughs, smiles, and pure happiness radiating throughout my room. These manipulatives have helped my students so much with stem building and creating different ideas. They sometimes choose to use the card that comes with them to create different models or they choose to create something on their own. Every time they create something new they want me to take a picture because they are so proud of what they made. It is so fun to watch the excitement in their eyes.

The castanets, in particular, are a tricky instrument to play while still developing fine motor skills. It was so beneficial for my students to learn and practice with this instrument as it really got them thinking about how to move those little fingers.
