Students are now more actively engaged in lessons, eagerly participating in whiteboard activities, and collaborating with each other more effectively. The simple act of having their own pencils, paper, and folders has instilled a sense of ownership and pride in their work, leading to increased organization and focus.\r\n\r\nThe dry erase markers and erasers have been particularly impactful, creating a vibrant and interactive learning space. Students can now visualize concepts more easily, brainstorm ideas together, and actively participate in problem-solving activities. This hands-on approach has fostered a deeper understanding of the material and a greater enthusiasm for learning.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has not only provided essential resources but has also created a more engaging and enriching learning environment for my students.

All the materials purchased have been used and have impacted my students in some way. \r\n We are using a new curriculum this year which has proved stressful at times. The breathing stickers have helped students regulate some of their frustrated emotions. I have also seen some of my students who struggle with attention disorders using the stickers to help them focus on the lesson. This has been truly a breath of fresh air, seeing struggling students use a resource provided for them, in order to help them bring their best into the classroom. The math lyric posters have not only provided smiles and the occassional break out in song moments, it has also helped connect previous knowledge. One poster in particular, \"Common Denominator\" by Justin Bieber helped remind a kid which part of the fraction was the denominator! This was also a beautiful and marvelous moment for both myself and the student!\r\n The other classroom supplies, dry erase markers and erasers, have been used as students show their mathematical thinking.
