We have reading phonics binders that are a huge hit thanks to you (especially when we put a twist to it). It is both organized and educationally on point. My students are loving their grammar spiral reviews as build and review their knowledge in a straightforward and practical way. We also have phonological awareness warm-ups every single day. These resources are making those \"lightbulb\" moments happen more and more.\r\n\r\nIt is so exciting to see my students so engaged. Your gift has given us the exact tools we needed to make learning to read and write a fun, successful adventure. With frugality, I have also been able to stretch your gift to make it as valuable as possible. Thank you for being so giving and kind to my students!

We rotate between markers, dry erase, etc, and it is quick and easy because their materials are within reach of the materials manager. The cleaning supplies you provided also came at the right time! Out students don't have to deal with a sticky table or germs from sneezes. The laminator and lamination sheets is an added chef's kiss! I've used them to create colorful flashcards and vibrant binder covers for our kids. When the students first saw their personalized, laminated binders, their faces lit up—they were thrilled to have materials that truly feel like their own. I have even laminated items for other teachers to use in their classrooms. On behalf of us all. Thank you! Also, everything I display for them on the board is now magnetized, so important references stay visible and accessible all day. I have even more I plan to make to use in other classrooms!\r\n\r\nWe will keep using these tools to reinforce and build reading skills and maintain an inviting, well-ordered classroom. The flashcards have already become a favorite warm-up resource for practicing key reading concepts, and the magnetized displays help students revisit important information whenever they need it. Your support has made our classroom both more functional and more joyful (for the students and me).
