These items have made a huge difference in my classroom and are used every single day. After returning from winter break, several students came back sick, so the tissues have been especially helpful in keeping students comfortable and focused on learning.\r\n\r\nBecause we eat breakfast in the classroom, cleanliness is very important. I use the broom daily to keep the floor clean, and students frequently wash their hands using the hand soap you provided. My students also help clean their tables using the wet wipes, which has encouraged responsibility and pride in our classroom. The wet Swiffer pads have been incredibly helpful in keeping our room clean and healthy.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the new materials, they were excited to help and eager to use them. They enjoy being part of keeping our classroom organized and clean. One of my favorite improvements has been the door stoppers. They came in a pack, which worked perfectly since I have two doors. I used to prop the doors open with a chair, but now I can safely keep them open without any issues.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our classroom is cleaner, safer, and more welcoming for learning. These resources support our daily routines and help create a positive environment where my students can focus on their lessons.

Several students immediately asked, \"Can we use these today?\" Seeing their enthusiasm and curiosity reminded me how powerful it is when students feel equipped and valued. \r\n\r\nMoving forward, these materials will continue to play an important role within our small groups and collaborative work time.
