When my students saw all the boxes arrive their eyes became wide with excitement and wonder. They couldn't wait to see what was inside the boxes. As we opened the treasures together they began to try and guess what was inside.\r\n\r\nOnce the boxes were opened the students were excited to each receive a brand new dry erase marker. They couldn't wait to use the answer boards. We use them mostly in math for them to solve problems and show me the answer they came up with. Our classroom looks much neater and more organized with the privacy chess nearly in their rack. The pencil sharpener helps ensure that each student has a sharpened pencil for completing their classwork. \r\n\r\nWe are grateful for your generosity in enhancing and helping organize our learning environment. Learning is a lot more fun with the answer boards and the pencil sharpener is a great addition.
