The headphones have made the biggest difference. My students use i-Ready to practice reading and math skills through lessons matched to their individual needs.

Your gift helps students hear their own lessons without competing audio from nearby computers. It also helps me provide focused small-group instruction while their classmates work independently.\r\n\r\nHaving headphones makes this learning time more accessible and gives students greater independence as they work through their lessons. In our classroom, we say, \"We can do hard things!\" Your generosity gives them an important tool to practice challenging skills and experience the excitement of making progress.\r\n\r\nThe colored pencils help students illustrate their writing and show their thinking, and the snacks help us celebrate effort and positive choices.

Our new soccer goals have brought fresh energy and enthusiasm to PE. Instead of using cones to mark our goals, students now have real targets to aim for, making every pass, shot, and goal feel that much more meaningful. The excitement of scoring a goal, cheering on a teammate, and celebrating even the smallest victories is what makes PE so special.\r\n\r\nThese goals are doing so much more than improving our soccer games. They are helping students develop coordination, confidence, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Whether a student is kicking a soccer ball for the very first time or working to improve their skills, everyone has an opportunity to learn, grow, and feel successful. We will continue using these goals for skill-building activities, small-sided games, and lessons that encourage cooperation, perseverance, and a love of movement.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has made a lasting difference for our students and our PE program. These goals will be enjoyed by countless students for years to come, creating opportunities for learning, laughter, and memories along the way.

Students practice hearing and manipulating sounds in words, blending sounds together, breaking words apart, identifying beginning and ending sounds, and strengthening their phonemic awareness. These skills are essential because students need to understand and hear the sounds in words before they can confidently connect those sounds to letters and read words independently.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading starts with these foundational skills and grows into reading real words, sentences, and grade-level texts. The Heggerty lessons give my students daily opportunities to practice through repetition, movement, and oral activities while keeping them actively involved. Having these resources funded means I can provide consistent phonics instruction and give my students more opportunities to practice the skills they need to become confident, independent readers.\r\n\r\nI am especially excited to see students who have struggled with identifying sounds or blending words begin to participate with more confidence. Watching a child go from struggling to break apart a word to successfully blending the sounds together is such an exciting moment.
