The students were so excited to learn that a generous group of individuals donated treats and prizes for them. The impact this has had on my classroom has been nothing short of amazing. My classes are working harder and focusing more on their academics. When the students found out what I had inside of the treasure box, I saw my student's behavior improve. Treasure Box Friday's has become a staple for my class as well as other student's around the school. Being in a low-income impoverished community, it is my social responsibility to make sure that other students connected me are rewarded just as my students are in my classroom. We are currently on Unit 4 of our lesson on Famous Inventors. On today November 21, 2025 our last day before the Thanksgiving Break, we were inventors building airplanes, solar cars, and fans. The collaborative work they did today was just awesome to see. They have worked so hard and to be able to cap the day off with a fun learning activity was very heartwarming! I always say the work that teachers do is not only hard work but this is heart work as well.

The new science supplies have transformed our lessons into hands-on adventures. Just last week, our students conducted a \"mystery fruit\" investigation, carefully observing, predicting, and testing their ideas using the new lab tools. Their faces lit up as they proudly shared their discoveries with classmates, it was pure joy!\r\n\r\nThe headphones have been just as impactful. During literacy and science technology rotations, students are now fully engaged without distractions, exploring digital resources with focus and independence. Many of my students come from households where these kinds of tools aren't accessible, so having them in class has opened doors to learning they didn't have before.\r\n\r\nThe next step? We'll be diving into a unit on \"How water travels in the world,\" where students will experiment with the new materials to model water movement and explore conservation. Your support ensures they have the resources to think critically, ask big questions, and see themselves as scientists.\r\n\r\nWe are so grateful that you chose to invest in our young learners.

Students shouldn't have to focus on hunger instead of learning. At 11:00 am when we switch classes you could see how tired and hungry students use to be.

The new technology has allowed my students to access reading tools, vocabulary games, and educational videos that bring our lessons to life in ways that traditional instruction alone cannot. For many of my students—especially our Multilingual Learners and those receiving reading interventions—these tools provide the visual and auditory reinforcement they need to build confidence and comprehension.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting parts for students has been the interactive features that let them take control of their learning. Whether it's using touchscreen tablets to sort words by spelling patterns or watching stories come to life with audio narration, their enthusiasm is unmistakable. I've noticed students who were once hesitant to participate now excitedly volunteer to demonstrate how to complete a digital task or help a peer navigate an app. One student in particular, who has struggled with reading fluency all year, now logs into our digital reading platform with a huge smile each morning, excited to beat his high score and move up a level.\r\n\r\nThis technology isn't just changing the way my students learn—it's changing the way they feel about learning.
