The snacks you provided have made a tremendous difference in our daily routine. Many of my students come to school without having eaten breakfast and are often still hungry after lunch. These snacks have helped them stay focused, feel cared for, and be ready to learn throughout the day. Simply put, you've helped remove a barrier to their learning—and that's priceless.\r\nOne special moment I'll never forget was the first day we introduced the magnetic toy set in our calming corner. The students' eyes lit up with curiosity and excitement! One student, who usually has a hard time engaging, spent nearly 5minutes quietly building towers and shapes. It was a beautiful moment of peace, creativity, and concentration. These toys have become a favorite tool in our calming corner, giving students a hands-on way to reset, regulate their emotions, and return to class ready to participate.\r\nWe're currently working on a project around \"building and creating,\" and the magnetic toy set has become an important part of that. Students are practicing problem-solving, teamwork, and communication as they work together to build different structures. It's incredible to watch them explore and learn through play.\r\nThank you again for being part of our classroom.

Students use them during Fun Fridays and as an activity when they finish their work early. They've been a great way to encourage social interaction, teamwork, and strategic thinking in a fun, low-pressure environment. When the games first arrived, the students were so excited, many couldn't believe we had so many new options to choose from. There was a lot of buzz as they eagerly picked out which games to try first. As we continue working through the year, the games will remain a fun reward and a great way to build classroom community while supporting positive behavior and engagement.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generous support! Your donation brought so much joy into our classroom and gave my students something they truly look forward to.

It has quickly become the heart of our TK classroom.\r\n\r\nAs soon as we unrolled the rug, the students were full of excitement. They pointed to the bright colors, found their favorite spots, and couldn't wait to sit together. Since then, we've used it every single day — for morning meetings, stories, songs, and group activities. It's helped create a warm, welcoming space where our youngest learners feel safe and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nOne moment that stood out was during our first circle time on the rug. A few of the children who are usually more reserved felt confident enough to join in and participate — it was a small but meaningful step for them, and I truly believe the inviting space played a role.\r\n\r\nAs we continue working on routines and social-emotional learning, the rug gives us the perfect place to gather and grow together.
