I typically spend a good portion of my own money to outfit the classroom with all the necessary supplies. Your kindness and generosity helped ease that burden on me, and allow me to more easily take care of my own children's supplies. \r\n\r\nThe school supplies helped my first graders learn responsibility from the very first day of school. They take pride and ownership in having their own supplies. Ensuring everyone had what was needed helped them all feel a part of the classroom community and the processes of the beginning of the year.\r\n\r\nThe bean bag chairs add the perfect ambiance to our classroom. I work hard to create a calm, comfortable, safe space for my present, as past, students.

The iPad adapters will help us make the most of our technology, and the fidget toys will give students helpful tools to stay focused, calm, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nYour kindness makes a meaningful difference in the lives of my students. For many, having access to these extra resources is something they might not otherwise experience.
