I actually just tried to post 6 more pictures but there was a glitch in the matrix. The students LOVE the fidget toys, which I find fascinating as an old lady. There is a ripple of joy when I take out the clear plastic container and students are able to choose their favorite. There is no shortage of excitement for silly puddy as well. The stuffed animals proved to be a hit and they were gifted to the students who relied on them the most.

We had schedule changes in the springtime and your generous gift allowed me to provide our new students with the binders that are an essential feature of my classroom. Your gift allowed for the full functioning of the classroom as we got ready for the end of the year projects, their Regents exams, and Advanced Placement exams. One of the most important supplies for their social-emotional well-being, was the journals. It was important that new students feel welcomed and had the same resources as their peers. Your generous donation allowed us to provide all kiddos with the journals that we wrote in daily.
