Because of your donations, my young learners now have access to new tools that are already making a huge difference in their daily learning.\r\n\r\nThe magnetic tile blocks have quickly become a favorite resource. My students in kindergarten and first grade are using them to explore shapes, patterns, and engineering design in ways that spark their creativity and teamwork. I've seen students collaborate to build bridges, towers, and even imaginative cities—all while practicing problem-solving and critical thinking. Even my older students love playing with them when they finish their work early!\r\n\r\nThe SEL (Social-Emotional Learning) posters are helping us create a classroom environment that supports both academic and personal growth. The visuals provide daily reminders about kindness, perseverance, and respect, and they give students the language they need to express their feelings and resolve conflicts positively.\r\n\r\nThese resources may seem small, but the impact is big. They are giving my students the opportunity to learn, create, and grow in an environment that values both STEM exploration and social-emotional development.
