The supplies given have helped to run a smooth, focused, and organized classroom. We are a pen-to-paper classroom, so the need for pencils have been crucial to make sure my students are prepared to write responses without digging or asking a friend for a writing utensil. Along with the pencils, the highlighters have made a tremendous impact on our annotation strategies to help dig deeper in our readings and written work. The highlighters help students keep track of important details to help make inferences about plot development and characterization. This is visibly seen as I require this practice daily. We also use these to decipher the difference between claims and opposing claims in nonfiction; to be able to use two different colors to draw their eyes to these key moments help them as they prepare/draft an argumentative essay. From flip chart markers to binder clips to binder rings, my classroom is stacked with great tools for organization and activities each day. This is all thanks to great donations from you!\r\n\r\nOn top of these materials, my students have explored different ways to express and demonstrate their understanding of texts be creating what we call in the teaching world as \"One Pagers.\" These have been created on card stock, which is thanks to the donation used for these supplies. Students truly shined in these projects with vibrant and thoughtful analysis of theirs readings in an artistic way. Again, I cannot thank you enough for your help to keep my classroom supplied , organized, and the freedom to try out different things.
