My students and I were absolutely thrilled to receive the easels! I told them I would need to assemble the easels before they could begin painting. Their reaction was priceless — they clapped, cheered, and even offered to help me put them together.\r\n\r\nWhen the students arrived for class on Halloween day, they asked if they could start painting. They were advised we'd paing,once the parade was over. We put the new easels to use — and what a joyful, creative moment it was!\r\n\r\nThe children were so eager to start painting. They dove into their artwork with enthusiasm, describing their creations to me and comparing their paintings with one another. The conversations that followed were wonderful to hear — they used an impressive range of vocabulary as they discussed colors, shapes, sizes, and even the number of objects in their paintings.\r\n\r\nI am deeply grateful for your thoughtful contribution. Your generosity has helped me encourage these young learners not only to create art but also to express themselves and build confidence in talking about their work.

I held them until they just finished the fourth book. They had been disappointed they were all done with Jack and Annie. And now they have four more for when they return from vacation. They are so excited to go on adventures. These books have really helped my students read with feeling, emotion and have helped their fluency. They can not wait for what will happen next. The books really made the children feel like readers for the first time. Something that interested them and really helped build their fluency. \r\n\r\n Let me quote the students \r\n\"I like the books because I enjoy that they have pictures, so I can see what is going on\".
