The Expo markers, pencils, laminating pouches, and other essentials are already organized and labeled, ready for my students on day one in August. The new shelving units will serve as individual cubbies for students' curriculum consumables—workbooks, notebooks, and reading packets—so no one can claim they \"lost\" or \"forgot\" their materials. Knowing everything has a permanent, organized home lets me plan interactive station work—like laminated task cards for literature circles—without worrying about last-minute supply hunts or stretched budgets.\r\n\r\nI'm especially thrilled about the automatic air-freshener and its orange-blossom, cedar, and fireside-cranberry refills. When the fall heat and \"Eau de Teenage Sweat\" start wafting in, we'll be able to switch to \"cozy-bookstore chic\" with the push of a button—my students will appreciate the upgrade, and I'm already laughing at how often I'll hear, \"Whoa, it actually smells good in here!\"\r\n\r\nBecause these basics are covered, I can focus my remaining budget and energy on developing engaging lessons rather than scrambling for supplies.

The new novels, short-story collections, and memoirs have already broadened the range of voices and genres my 9th- and 10th-grade readers can explore. Because we now have multiple copies of high-interest titles, students can read the same book in small groups while we practice skills such as identifying theme, analyzing characterization, and gathering evidence for text-based discussions. The mix of contemporary fiction and nonfiction also lets me match each lesson—whether it's point of view, figurative language, or author's purpose—to a text that feels current and relevant.\r\n\r\nThe coloring books you provided have become a quiet complement to our reading time. During independent reading periods, some students use them to stay focused while listening to an audiobook or pausing between chapters to reflect on what they've read. The relaxed atmosphere helps everyone settle into their books more quickly, and our daily reading block now ends with noticeably calmer energy.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has strengthened both the variety of texts I can teach and the overall reading culture of our classroom.

We have been using our supplies for projects that not only benefit us but others outside of the classroom. For example, my senior class has collaborated with the kindergarten class in creating monsters. While the kindergarteners designed and drew out their own monsters, the senior class brought these to life with clay and paint and gifted it back to the kindergartners. \r\nWe've also been experimenting with other mediums such as the listed scratchboards. 2nd year students were learning about how to use this medium, the different techniques, and how they are need to work in the inverted.
