The new hands-on materials have already made a tremendous difference in my Spanish classroom. When everything arrived, my students were immediately excited—especially about the puppets, storytelling cards, and dry erase verb dice. They began using them right away to act out stories, roll verbs to build sentences, and create short skits entirely in Spanish. The room felt alive with creativity, movement, and laughter.\r\n\r\nThe magazine subscription has been especially meaningful for my Spanish 4 students. Instead of reading from a textbook, they now explore authentic articles on topics they care about—current events, culture, entertainment, and more. Recently, students read a shared article and used flip chart paper and sentence strips to create visual summaries, questions, and vocabulary displays. Their confidence and comprehension have grown noticeably.\r\n\r\nWe are continuing to use the journals, flashcard kits, and bingo chips during centers, storytelling, and reading activities. These materials have helped us shift toward a more interactive and student-led learning environment where students communicate, collaborate, and use Spanish in real-world ways.\r\n\r\nNext, students will use the storytelling cards, puppets, and dice to develop longer narratives and mini-performances. Spanish 4 will continue reading and discussing magazine articles as inspiration for cultural inquiry projects.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has brought energy, joy, and authentic communication into our classroom.
