Due to the donations to this project, our K-pop club has been able to do so many different things on campus. Our speaker has allowed us to practice our dances anywhere we need to. For example, we were able to practice before our Fall sports assembly and our Diwali festival. We were also able to practice before performing for multiple 8th-grade schools.\r\n\r\nAlongside having smoother practices and performances, we have used the smartphone printer to print photos of our club's different activities. This has also been a good gift for the students to put in their memory journals. We also have plans to use the smartphone printer and Polaroid camera to fundraise for our club on campus. Also, with the donations to this project, we were also able to hand out homemade photocards to all types of K-POP stans, whether they were students or staff.

Many immediately commented on how the classroom felt calmer and more welcoming. Several students gathered around the new greenery, sharing how the space reminded them of a study area or coffee shop rather than a traditional classroom. Their enthusiasm showed how much a positive environment can impact their daily school experience.\r\n\r\nWe use these resources every day as students work independently, collaborate in groups, and participate in classroom discussions. One memorable moment occurred during a math problem-solving activity when students chose to work in the newly created corner surrounded by the plants and vines. The comfortable setting encouraged meaningful conversations, teamwork, and persistence as they worked through challenging problems together.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, my students will continue using this refreshed learning space as we explore new mathematical concepts and prepare for upcoming projects and assessments. The calming atmosphere helps reduce stress and supports student engagement, allowing learners to focus on building confidence in their skills. We are excited to use the classroom corner for small-group instruction, peer tutoring, and collaborative learning activities throughout the year.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping create a classroom environment where students feel welcomed, valued, and inspired to learn.
