They are so eager to keep the classroom clean and sanitized using the requested cleaning supplies. These materials have been very beneficial in the classroom, especially the magnetic letters, with those students who struggle with basic phonemic awareness skills. Since using the magnetic letters, students have enhanced their vocabulary and increased phonological skills. Their reaction was magical when the materials arrived in my classroom. How they interact and engage during center rotation and cleaning time displays how thankful and grateful they are for all the materials. The ink cartridges for the student printer were also impactful. Students had access to a printer during typing club center rotation and were informed about the importance of ink and how a printer works. I was also able to take advantage of the ink for printing reading fluency passages and additional worksheets to ensure mastery of the standard. \r\n I am so thankful that I was able to create this project for them. I thank you all so much for allowing my project to come to life. Children learn more when they are able to have fun while engaging and learning.

Students used their creative minds to create and build different things using the magnetic sticks, building blocks, and LEGO blocks. The playdough was a great source with the sight word playdough mats, which allowed students to play while learning difficult sight words. The headphones were very impactful for technology integration. Students are able to complete reading and math lessons assigned to them on their Chromebooks at school and at home, which is a great addition to filling in the academic gap for both subjects. My next step for my students is to learn how to enjoy math while learning basic math foundational skillsPlease enjoy the pictures that were taken and understand that your thoughtful generosity has impacted the lives of some great children!
