Because of you, I was able to supply my \"materials corner\" with items my students love and look forward to using! The erasable highlighters and the transparent sticky notes were a particular hit. These allowed students to make margin notes in the textbook (gasp!) and I've got to say: my students' comprehension of The Odyssey was the best it's ever been. I believe your donation is largely to thank for that win. Students were able to annotate in ways that helped them understand the text and make it memorable. We look forward to similar success with our next classic, Romeo and Juliet!\r\n\r\nThe \"matchbook summary\" project was also a huge hit, as students were able to let their creativity shine thanks to the folders, index cards, and other art supplies you provided. I've uploaded a few pictures of these for your enjoyment.\r\n\r\nThere were a number of less exciting, but arguably more important, classroom items I was able to purchase because of your donation. I thank you for our year's supply of paper and pencils that keep kids writing and thinking each day. I thank you for the sticky notes that keep us organized and collaborative. I thank you for the stapler and staples we need more often than one might think. In short, thank you for gifting us a well-stocked, functional high school English classroom in which students can create and explore on a daily basis.
