The students were so excited to learn that they were getting new books to take home. \r\n\r\nThe impact of your donation reached beyond the classroom. In the past, parents asked for books to use at home. After receiving the donation, I was able to give parents decodable books that they can use to help their children at home. This supported the scholars I work with but it also supported the other children in the home. We were able to use books to give away as prizes for parents who came to training on reading practices at home. The decodable readers are so important for students' reading growth because it allows students to practice the phonics skills they are learning in class.\r\n\r\nThe students I work with all grew in reading. The CVC Builders help students segment words. I can't wait to use them next year.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your kind donation.

The Expo Dry Erase Markers have been a huge hit as well! My students' faces lit up when they saw the variety of colors, and they have been eager to use them during our small group lessons and interactive board activities. The magnetic marker holder is also a simple but effective addition that keeps everything right where we need it.\r\n\r\nNext, we plan to use these resources to create more interactive math and literacy centers where students can independently practice their skills using the whiteboard and markers.
