The first week after they arrived, one of my small groups was working on sorting items by the digraph they contain. This has been a skill this group has been working on for about a month. I took the items from all of the digraph tubs and mixed everything together. Then students each took a turn selecting an item, saying what it was, and placing it in the correct spot on our digraph chart. Having the hands on items made my students so excited to complete the activity. Being able to move the items around really seemed to help the learning stick for them. Once the group shows mastery of the digraphs, we will be moving on to the constant blends, using our blends teaching tubs, of course! \r\n\r\nI have another student that I work with one-on-one who is new to the United States. He is learning English, specifically the sounds constants make. Being able to use the alphabet teaching tubs has greatly helped him in his learning of the letter sounds. It has also given him more opportunities to learn new vocabulary words and his excitement over the items in the tubs has led to him speaking more, which is amazing! \r\n\r\nThank you again for your extremely generous support.

The moment my students first saw the new aquarium, their excitement filled the room. They immediately gathered around, pointing out the fish, asking questions, and making thoughtful observations before we even began our lesson. Since then, the aquarium has become a powerful learning tool—students have been creating ecosystem journals, studying habitats and food chains, and engaging in rich discussions sparked by what they observe each day. It has also brought a calming, inviting atmosphere to our classroom, giving students a peaceful place to read, write, and reflect.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our work, students will take on more responsibility by helping maintain the tank, learning about water testing, feeding routines, and the importance of caring for living creatures. These hands-on experiences build responsibility, empathy, and environmental awareness in ways that traditional lessons simply can't replicate. Your generosity didn't just provide materials; it opened the door to daily discoveries and meaningful learning moments.
