My students love our new rug. It is big enough for all of my students to sit on. We use our rug every day during story time. After recess, I ask all of my students to sit on the rug and listen to me as I read a story. This is my favorite part of the day because I love to read to my students. \r\nMy students were so excited when our rug first came to our classroom. Many of them said, \"Yay! We love our new rug.\" Now my students ask me regularly if they can sit on our new rug and read a book when they finish their school work. \r\nThis makes me so happy because I want my students to develop a love of reading.

Because of you, our students now have a class set of seat sacks, a wagon, and copies of the Wings of Fire book series. These resources have already made a meaningful and lasting impact on our daily learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe seat sacks have helped transform our classroom into a more organized and focused space. Each student now has a designated place to store their books and supplies, which saves valuable instructional time and reduces distractions. Students are taking responsibility for their materials and feel proud of their personal learning space. This added sense of ownership has helped our classroom run more smoothly and efficiently each day.\r\n\r\nThe wagon has quickly become an essential classroom tool. It allows us to easily and safely transport books, supplies, and materials for lessons and activities, including outdoor learning opportunities. With the help of the wagon, transitions are quicker and more inclusive, ensuring all students can participate fully without stress or disruption. It has given us greater flexibility to expand learning beyond our classroom walls.\r\n\r\nThe Wings of Fire books have been especially exciting for our students. These stories have sparked a love of reading and captured the imagination of both avid and reluctant readers alike. Students eagerly discuss characters and plot twists, recommend books to one another, and choose to read during free time. These books are helping build reading confidence, comprehension skills, and a genuine enthusiasm for literature.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has provided more than just supplies—it has created opportunities for organization, engagement, and inspiration. Every day, our students benefit from your kindness as they learn, read, and grow together.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and supporting their educational journey.

Now our rows stay clear, students can walk comfortably between desks, and our classroom feels more structured and focused on learning.\r\n\r\nMy sixth graders were excited the moment they saw the new chair organizers because they each had a special place to store their books, notebooks, and supplies. Since using them, I have noticed students taking more responsibility for their materials and showing pride in keeping their space neat.
