Every year, we need to replace the markers in our classroom halfway through the school year. Having a fresh class pack of markers is a great way to start the New Year after winter break. \r\n\r\nMy students use the markers for a variety of school activities, but they really love having them to be creative and draw during breaks and mindfulness. They take really great care of them, but eventually the ink does run out.

Thank you, thank you! This has been a game changer for the class. It's so much easier to have a water bottle cleaning schedule when we can clean them right in our classroom with this machine. Last year we had to walk down to the bathroom and use the sinks to wash our bottles. Now I can just set 4 in the machine, and they are clean within 80 mins but without needing to involve extra work. The bottles are getting cleaner and are washed more frequently. We love that we have this machine now.

The pencils are more durable and my students have to wipe harder to erase. Which is helpful because they can't just start erasing their work right away.

We are using the materials regularly during classroom lessons, small-group activities, and independent work.\r\n\r\nOne special moment was when my students first saw the new materials. Their excitement was immediate—they were eager to explore, ask questions, and get started. It was wonderful to see students who can sometimes be hesitant to participate become curious and actively involved in the lesson.\r\n\r\nWe recently used the resources as part of a classroom project where students worked together to explore a new concept, share their ideas, and create something that demonstrated their learning. Having the right materials allowed them to move beyond simply reading or listening and actually experience the learning process.\r\n\r\nOur next step is to continue building on this project. Students will use what they have learned to complete their work, collaborate with their classmates, and reflect on what they discovered. Your support has helped create opportunities for my students to learn with greater confidence, curiosity, and enthusiasm.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and helping make these learning experiences possible.

The students couldn't wait to try them out! During a recent reading workshop, students who usually fidget or struggle to stay seated during independent reading were sitting calmly on the Wobble Stools, gently moving while staying completely absorbed in their books. The bean bag chair immediately became our designated \"Cozy Reading Spot\"—a cozy space that students eagerly take turns earning throughout the day.\r\n\r\nThe Wobble Stools provide sensory input and subtle movement, allowing energetic students to release extra energy without disrupting their classmates or losing focus on their work. The comfortable bean bag creates an inviting space for independent reading, quiet reflection, or collaborative work with a peer.\r\n\r\nNext Steps for Our Class\r\nWe are embarking on an upcoming research and writing unit, where students will be drafting their own short stories.
