During our literacy block, the students love rotating through activities where they can use the new books and hands-on tools to practice sight words, letter sounds, and writing. One of my favorite moments was watching a few students proudly read their first sentences using the new materials — their confidence has grown so much!\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just bring supplies — it brought new energy and enthusiasm into our classroom. My students are more engaged, focused, and motivated to learn each day. As we continue our current unit, these materials will help us explore new topics, build stronger foundational skills, and nurture a love for learning that will last beyond this year.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making such a meaningful difference in our classroom community.
