We don't meet everyday but the opportunities we've had to meet this year have been that much more enjoyable. Your donations made this all possible. \r\n\r\nWe get to meet weekly and have dealt with some schedule conflicts early in the year.

These notebooks serve multiple purposes: students take notes, doodle, and keep each unit organized. They have proven to be excellent tools for helping students study and prepare for tests. In the photos I'm sharing, you'll see that we began with Maps and Map Elements. Next, we will explore Early Humans, followed by Mesopotamia.\r\n\r\nThe students' response to the materials has been wonderful—they were genuinely excited. One student even asked if all these resources were truly free for him to use!\r\nWe will soon start our unit on Early Humans. The materials are perfect for writing vocabulary words, organizing Jigsaw activities where groups share their learning with peers, and providing a space for students to record notes and doodles they want to remember—all in one place.\r\n\r\nThank you very much for supporting a more hands-on and engaging learning environment for my students.

This is a first at Gentry Middle School, and certainly a book collection that I'd like to grow in the years to come. Already, my students are spending their down time in our reading nook and perusing the math books, which is what I originally envisioned for this project. The kids see this kind gesture as another way that they can be proud of their school, knowing that someone thought enough of them to give something without conditions. \r\nThis reading nook has also become a 'relaxation corner' and a 'reward' spot. And the students are quite competitive about having the opportunity to sit in the class' reading corner! I'm thrilled to see them delving into math in a novel way, and actually learning--even though the kids might not realize that they're learning. Book topics like decimals, real world applications of math, math anxieties, and fun math riddles are engaging for their growing minds. Even ELLs who may struggle with language barriers or low-level readers are engaged through the colorful illustrations and kid-friendly aesthetic. \r\nI can't say enough about how the whole school will be positively impacted for years to come.
