These new texts have brought incredible excitement to my students. The books you provided have introduced essential skills such as vocabulary building, sentence structure, and comprehension strategies, helping students gain confidence not only in reading but also in speaking and writing. With your support, my classroom has become a vibrant space where literature is not just read but explored deeply, encouraging critical thinking and meaningful discussions.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is an interactive and joyful experience. Students pair up or read individually, then we share stories and ask questions about the characters and plots. I incorporate activities like predicting outcomes, summarizing chapters, and connecting the themes to their own lives. This active engagement helps students build their language skills in a natural, supportive setting. Because the books are diverse culturally relevant and some are bilingual, they spark curiosity and allow students to see themselves reflected in the stories no matter at what level of learning they are in, which makes learning even more impactful.\r\n\r\nOne of my students, has found a love for some of these stories and it has helped him build his vocabulary and understand his own learning process. Another student, who is a newcomer to the country, has stared using some of the books and graphic novels as models for her writing and speaking. Your generous donation has truly made a difference in their educational journey, inspiring a lifelong love of reading and learning.

The new resources you provided have already had a wonderful impact on both learning and the classroom environment.\r\n\r\nMy students use these materials every day. The Pop FIDGET Toys have become part of our calm-down corner, helping students manage emotions and refocus so they can rejoin lessons with confidence. The pencils and electric sharpener ensure that everyone is prepared to learn right away, without wasting time searching for supplies. The Clorox wipes and hand sanitizer have become part of our daily routine as students take responsibility for cleaning their desks and keeping our room safe. One favorite classroom moment was during a math review, when students used the Reusable Write & Wipe Pockets to practice problems. They loved being able to erase mistakes and try again, making the lesson interactive and stress-free.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the students' excitement was unforgettable. The Pop FIDGET Toys were an instant favorite, and students immediately wanted to use them as tools for focus. Several cheered when they saw the large pack of pencils and the new sharpener, it gave them such relief to know they'd always have what they needed. Even the cleaning supplies brought smiles, as students eagerly volunteered to wipe down desks and take ownership of keeping the classroom safe.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, these resources will continue to support both academic and personal growth. We are currently working on lessons around self-advocacy and responsibility, and the supplies give students a chance to practice those skills in real ways managing materials, collaborating in groups, and keeping our space organized. Our next step will be using the sticky notes and storage bins during group projects, where students will brainstorm, sort ideas, and work together more effectively.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students not only have the tools they need to learn, but also the opportunity to build responsibility, confidence, and teamwork skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom.
