Each student now has their own numbered erasable pens, dry erase sleeves, markers, and even a mini eraser. Every time we do group math, they eagerly ask if they can use the dry erase boards.\r\n\r\nThey also get a kick out of the old-fashioned lead pencils, joking that those are from \"back in my day\"! These supplies bring joy and comfort while also helping them focus. During small group work, I can sit right at the table with them using one of the small boards instead of always teaching from the front of the room. This not only reduces my anxiety, but also lowers theirs—mistakes can be erased instantly, and successes can be proudly held up for all to see.\r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for these supplies and can truly see how they reduce nervousness and frustration for our students.

Your donation has brought an exciting new dimension to our classroom, allowing my students to explore history, art, and critical thinking in a hands-on and engaging way.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the Gelli plates and printing tools, their eyes lit up with curiosity and excitement. Many had never seen materials like these before and could hardly wait to start. The room buzzed with energy as they experimented with layering colors, textures, and stencils, discovering the magic of printmaking.\r\n\r\nOne of the most powerful moments so far was when we connected our Gelli printing to our study of colonial America. Students learned how printing played a vital role in spreading information during the Revolutionary War, much like how their prints could communicate ideas visually. As they pulled their first prints, they made connections between their creative choices and the impact of printed materials on history. They began to see how messages were crafted and shared long before modern technology.\r\n\r\nWe are incredibly grateful for your support. Your generosity has provided us with innovative materials and inspired creativity, curiosity, and a deeper appreciation for history.

Thanks to your kindness, my fifth-grade students have already immersed themselves in hands-on learning with Ozobot Evo kits, kite-making kits, and aluminum embossing art projects. These activities have sparked their creativity, strengthened their critical thinking skills, and inspired collaboration, making learning an exciting and meaningful adventure. \r\n\r\nThis project goes beyond content mastery, fostering deep learning by challenging students to apply foundational knowledge in new and innovative ways. With the Ozobot Evo kits, students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills as they program robots, debug their code, and refine their solutions. The kite-making kits encourage perseverance and engineering design, requiring students to test, modify, and improve their creations based on real-world principles of aerodynamics. The embossing art projects promote creativity and communication, allowing students to express unique ideas while learning the value of craftsmanship and artistic impact. \r\n\r\nThrough these deep learning experiences, students build essential future-ready skills—collaborating effectively in teams, thinking critically to devise solutions, and communicating their ideas with clarity and purpose. They demonstrate resilience as they navigate challenges, refining their work through trial and error. Your generosity has given them opportunities to engage in meaningful, real-world learning that prepares them for the future.

Their eyes widened with excitement, and they were bubbling with curiosity—typical for happy and eager 4 and 5-year-olds. They immediately dove into building, collaborating with their peers to create amazing structures that reflected their imaginative ideas.\r\n\r\nAnother particularly memorable moment was when we introduced pretend snow in the classroom. The children squealed with joy as they played with the fluffy material, giggling and pretending to have snowball fights.
