Your kindness has made a meaningful and immediate impact in our classroom.\r\nThe SEL books have become a powerful teaching tool on how to identify children's feelings, expressing themselves, resolving conflicts, and building empathy. The stuffed animals have also become an incredible source of comfort and connection. Students are using them during calm-down time, reading sessions, and moments when they need a sense of safety or emotional grounding. These stuffed animals have become a bridge that helps them feel seen, supported, and ready to learn.\r\nYour generosity has enriched our classroom environment and strengthened our ability to nurture each child.

These snacks have also helped create a more supportive learning environment.

Hula hoops are improving coordination, balance, and core strength. They are particularly useful in stations focused on rhythm and movement patterns.\r\n\r\nGator skin balls are perfect for teaching throwing, catching, and dodging skills safely due to their soft texture, which reduced fear of injury.

Because of your contributions, my students now have access to high-quality headphones that they have been using to explore music technology in meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nLast school year, students used the headphones while creating and editing projects in BandLab. They were able to record, mix, and layer sounds with clarity—something that simply wasn't possible without the right equipment. The headphones allowed them to truly hear the details of their work, make creative choices with confidence, and collaborate with one another more effectively.\r\n\r\nThis year, the headphones continue to be an essential part of our classroom. Students are already using them in new music technology projects, and they're excited to keep pushing their creativity further.

The day my project was fully funded I couldn't even believe it had happened. The cushions were implemented at the end of the 2024-25 school year with my class to use during 'around the room' time for things such as small groups and independent work. They were a huge success and were a great motivator for behavior! The storage cabinets have been great in organizing materials for my students as well. At the end of the last school year, my whole class was excited and eager to help me organize everything!\r\n\r\nThis current school year, 2025-26, the materials are being implemented the same way, but now I am able to utilize and implement the plastic utility carts! They serve as end caps for each group of desks, and students are able to store pencil pouches and water bottles on it. It creates MUCH less clutter on their desks and helps my students to stay focused on the assignments in front of them!
