One of my favorite moments was watching students carefully pull out each item, gasping over the fuzzy socks and hugging the stuffed animals like old friends. Several students immediately sat together to color and talk, using the markers and coloring books to create pictures for family members. It was such a simple but powerful reminder that these small comforts made them feel seen, valued, and cared for.\r\n\r\nThe first reaction was pure surprise—wide eyes, big smiles, and lots of \"Is this really for us?\" Many students shared that they had never received a gift bag like this before, and they took great pride in choosing which items to use first. The slime quickly became a favorite during our calm-down moments, helping students regulate their emotions and focus, while the socks kept them cozy during our colder classroom days.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, we are continuing to build a classroom environment where students feel safe and supported as learners. Right now, students are using creative activities like coloring and hands-on materials to strengthen fine motor skills, self-expression, and social connections. Your support didn't just provide gifts—it helped set the tone for a positive learning experience that will carry into our upcoming lessons and projects.

The Laddie Tri-Write and Ticonderoga My First Tri-Write Neon Pencils are perfect for little hands learning how to write, and the AFMAT electric pencil sharpener makes it easy for students to stay prepared and independent. These tools not only supported our science study but also built confidence in their daily writing and drawing activities.\r\n\r\nThanks to your kindness, my students were able to connect with science in a meaningful and memorable way, while also having the right tools to support their learning.
