My students know exactly where to go to get the items they need for their project. \r\nThe storage has also given us more space in the classroom. Space is a huge plus when you are working in groups to collaborate on whatever it is they are working on. With this being a STEAM classroom, we have a lot of different types of supplies. The storage cabinet is just one way for them to not only be better organized, but to be able to store their unfinished project. Otherwise there would be a chance that their project could get messed up between classes. This has been a huge help. Thank you for believing in education and for supporting projects that teachers submit. You are helping in the future of all these students you have give support to.

It is allowing me to work with the students and to see their way of thinking as they work. They really enjoy coming back to the reading table for their special table time to work with me and to show me what they know. The cassette player has made it possible for those students that may struggle a bit, to be able to concentrate without distracting noises around them. I have several learning tapes that otherwise, I would not be able to use. Through your generosity, you have made my job much easier.

The students were extremely happy when they saw the hands-on materials. These tangible resources have enabled my students with special needs to access educational content in meaningful ways. Recently, we taught letter sounds and spelled their names using the lace ABC beads as our educational tool. The students showed joy in using the beads to construct their own names and expressed interest in creating additional words. Witnessing their eagerness to learn brought me great joy. Observing their excitement as they moved the beads to form words left me in awe.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your generosity. The remarkable growth I have seen in my students since receiving your donation has filled me with excitement as I watch them develop through practical learning tools.
