Your generosity turned our room into a vibrant hub of culture and creativity, allowing my first graders to explore the traditions of the Lunar New Year through hands-on art. By assembling lanterns and bookmarks, the students moved beyond the pages of a book to truly engage with the symbols of luck and prosperity. These kits didn't just provide craft supplies; they provided a sense of wonder and a deeper understanding of our diverse world.\r\n\r\nThe horse plushie ornaments were the true highlight of the project. These soft keepsakes served as a vital bridge between school and home, giving each child a tangible \"storytelling tool\" to share their new knowledge with their families. For many of my students, school is the primary place where they experience these global traditions, and your support ensured they had a multisensory memory they will cherish.

By exploring these traditions firsthand, my students are learning to appreciate the diverse world around them with curiosity and empathy.

I've already noticed that my high-energy learners are more settled during independent reading time—having that physical comfort allows them to focus on their books rather than their \"wiggles.\"\r\n\r\nThe organizational trays have been equally life-changing. We've turned \"cleaning our desks\" into a prideful routine. Instead of the frantic search for lost worksheets, my students now confidently transition between subjects.
