Students use the games to make connections between reading, writing, and conversation.\r\n\r\nSome of my students are especially drawn to the illustrated books that reflect their own experiences and cultures. Others love the matching and storytelling games, which help them practice English in a relaxed, social way. Every day, I see more smiles, more participation, and more confidence as they take risks with new words and share their ideas in English.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has helped create a classroom where learning English feels achievable and joyful.

The energy shifted immediately, and students were able to focus with a little more comfort and confidence.\r\n\r\nThese sweet snacks are more than just fun—they've become tools for motivation and care. I've used them during group work competitions, reward days, and to simply brighten someone's rough morning. They've helped reinforce a positive learning environment where students feel valued and seen. For some of my students, knowing there's a snack available if they need it has made a real difference in their ability to stay engaged throughout the day.\r\n\r\nI'm using treats as a small incentive for reaching drafting and revision goals. Next, we'll begin a class book project, and I plan to continue using these snacks to celebrate key moments along the way.

The magnets and colored pencils have added a creative spark to our lessons, especially in group projects and visual learning tasks.\r\n\r\nStudents used the colored pencils recently to help create a comic to show dialogue between characters. The pencils helped them organize and revise their drafts more clearly. The charging station and extension cord have been a game-changer for students working on Chromebooks—they no longer worry about dead batteries during research and writing time. Meanwhile, the houseplants have become a quiet class responsibility, giving students a small, calming task they take pride in.\r\n\r\nOur new supplies will keep creativity and organization at the forefront.
