There are things that make a classroom feel at home--things that aren't funded by a district--things that a teacher has to pay for out of her own pocket. You helped provide some of those things, which eased the burden on me--for that, I am truly grateful.\r\n\r\nMy students love the color changing lamp, and we choose colors based on the day's theme. Some days are just warm white, but today is 9/25, and California is saluting the goodness of Dolly Parton, so today our classroom is illuminated in pink. We also played a Blooket today, and your treats were prizes for the top students in the competition.\r\n\r\nThanks again for your kindness.

It has been great seeing them use the supplies to create projects connected to our history lessons and put their own personality into their work.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we'll continue using these for projects, activities, and different ways for students to show what they've learned.

These pens will allow students to identify what stations they are working on. Also, the pencils are colored for specific stations.
