This has been especially impactful for our visual learners, who now have the vibrant resources they need to fully grasp challenging new concepts.\r\n\r\nBeyond the academic benefits, the printer has sparked a new level of pride in my students' work. Whether they are publishing original stories, creating historical brochures, or designing science posters, seeing their efforts come to life in full color has boosted their confidence and engagement. Your support has not only provided a vital tool but has also sent a powerful message to my students that their education and creativity are worth the investment.

Because of you, my students now have access to a wide variety of diverse books that better represent who they are, their families, and the world around them.\r\n\r\nWhen the books arrived, the excitement in our classroom was immediate. Students couldn't wait to explore the shelves and dive into new stories. Many of them were drawn to books where they could see characters who look like them or share similar experiences. Others were eager to learn about cultures, traditions, and perspectives different from their own. These books have already sparked meaningful conversations and created moments of connection during our reading time.\r\n\r\nHaving a classroom library filled with diverse voices ensures that every student feels seen, valued, and inspired.

I think that reading these books was a wonderful way to teach them the social and emotional skills needed to be successful students. We were able to read, do fun activities and reflect on what we learned from the books all year long. The books gave us examples we could refer to all year long. We read Tattle tongue did the activities from the activity book. We made posters and pictures of ourselves with a yellow and purple spotted tongue. We reviewed the rules of tattling and how to be a Danger Ranger whenever it was needed. \r\nWe also used our tattle phone. It was incredible. When students were not following the rules, we would reference one of the books we had read. It was great when the students started making connections to situations on the playground and what they learned from the books we got.
