I hope that having the Polaroid film will show them that you can enjoy other things besides being on a screen. Our school loves to celebrate special events such as Growth Celebrations, 100th Day of School, Dojo Celebrations, and other projects throughout the school year. The students love all of these events!

The markers and poster supplies help us to document when we learn new skills. The posters we create and display become references that we can refer back to whenever we need the support. As everyone is well aware, keeping healthy and safe is extremely important so students don't get sick and have to miss school. The tissues and all of the cleaning supplies will be utilized to keep our classroom a safe, healthy environment for sweet peas.

One memorable moment was during a recent class activity when students worked together using the new equipment and immediately began encouraging one another, problem-solving, and celebrating small successes. It was inspiring to see how naturally collaboration and confidence emerged.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, their reaction was pure excitement. Their faces lit up, and they were eager to ask questions and try everything right away. Several students said it felt like \"real\" equipment, which made them feel more motivated and proud of their learning environment. That initial excitement quickly turned into focus and determination as they began using the resources during class.\r\n\r\nBecause of your donation, our next steps include building more structured lessons and challenges that help students progress their skills over time. We will continue using these materials to support teamwork, goal-setting, and skill development, while also adapting activities to meet the needs of all learners.
