From The Teacher

Dear Public - Supply,

I just wanted to take a minute to thank you again for your generous donation to provide Makerspace materials to my library. The magnetic blocks were a huge hit and my students were SO excited when they first saw them.

I decided to use the blocks as part of a makerspace station (or center) for my kindergarten and first grade students. This way, a small group of students would be working with the materials and they could take turns. As soon as I started doing this, every week when the students entered the library, they ask if they can do stations and play with the magnetic blocks!

The Legos will be used with the older kids. The kids love Legos and I can't wait for them to begin building with them. As the school year winds down, I am going to focus more on makerspace activities so these materials are extremely helpful. I wouldn't have been able to do this without YOUR support, so again, thank you so much.

With gratitude,

Mrs. Lewis
