It was pure joy—and you made that possible.\r\n\r\nWe've been using the books in all kinds of ways, from practicing letters and sight words to solving math problems with neat, legible numbers. The students were so proud to share their work aloud without worrying if anyone could understand their writing.\r\n\r\nNext, we'll be incorporating the handwriting books into our end-of-unit projects, where students will create their own \"mini-books\" to take home. They'll write their stories, illustrate them, and present them to the class—giving them a chance to show just how far they've come. Your support has not only improved their handwriting but also boosted their confidence, making them excited to write and share their ideas.

These materials will support both learning and play, giving students the tools they need to express themselves, stay organized, and develop important motor and social skills.\r\n\r\nI can already picture the smiles and excitement when students walk in and find their very own folders and brand-new crayons waiting for them.

And I'm especially excited for outdoor play and learning activities—whether it's using chalk for letter writing on the blacktop or getting the wiggles out with skip ball games.\r\n\r\nIn the first few weeks, we'll be focusing on routines, community-building, and early literacy and math skills.
