My students use the organizers to keep their pencils and materials in order, which has helped them take more responsibility for their learning and move smoothly through lessons. The playdough has been especially meaningful during hands-on learning moments, such as building letters, forming numbers, and strengthening fine motor skills. When my students first saw the materials, they were beyond excited—many of them could not believe they had their own supplies. Seeing how happy and grateful they were honestly brought me to tears. For many of my scholars, having fundamental items like playdough, stickers, and organizers made them feel valued and excited to learn. Thanks to our donors, our next steps include continuing hands-on literacy and math activities that allow students to learn through play, practice independence, and build confidence as learners.

This simple resource has given my students the ability to focus and participate with confidence.\r\n\r\nThe letter tiles have been a wonderful tool in building literacy skills. My students use them daily to practice phonics and strengthen their letter recognition, which are foundational steps in learning to read. These hands-on materials make learning interactive and fun, and I have already seen growth in their understanding and excitement about reading.\r\n\r\nEven something as basic as socks has had a huge impact.

We focus on comprehension strategies, vocabulary development, and fluency through shared reading, guided discussions, and writing responses. Many students are learning how to make connections between their own experiences and the stories they read, helping them develop critical thinking skills and a deeper appreciation for literature. One student, who was initially hesitant to read aloud, now volunteers to share passages with the class, showing incredible progress in both fluency and self-assurance. Another student has found joy in graphic novels, using the visual context to support their understanding of new words.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a tangible difference in my students' literacy journey, and I am so grateful.
