They were so excited to grab their own dry erase markers, highlighters, and sticky notes. It felt like Christmas morning in our classroom. We used the Sharpies to create name tags and personal desk signs, which made everyone feel proud and special. The new laminator and sheets have already helped me prepare long-lasting learning tools, like reusable word work mats and math game boards that we'll use all year. The AFMAT pencil sharpener has become everyone's favorite station!\r\n\r\nRight now, we're working on highlighting key details in nonfiction texts, and the erasable highlighters are making that practice feel like a fun challenge instead of a chore. My students are gaining confidence with hands-on materials that make learning active and engaging. Up next, we'll be creating mini anchor charts together to keep in our folders, something we couldn't do without your generous help. Your donation has truly brightened our classroom and made a lasting impact.
