This technology has truly helped us \"stick together\" as a learning community, ensuring no student is left behind during a lesson.\r\n\r\nBy funding these diverse needs, you have helped me create an environment where students feel technologically empowered, physically cared for, and consistently celebrated. The classroom prizes have been a massive hit, serving as the perfect \"glue\" to reinforce our new routines and positive behaviors during these critical first months.

However, the unexpected stars of this project have been the sheet protectors. By sliding their best art and math reference sheets into these protectors, the students' work suddenly feels \"official\" and durable.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has provided the tools my students need to see their \"scribbles\" as masterpieces and their academic progress as something worth protecting. We have used the sheet protectors to create reusable \"math mats\" and to preserve our favorite art pieces, ensuring that their hard work lasts long enough to be shared with their families at home.

We have used the book to practice \"Growth Mindset\" reflections, where students identify their own \"Big Cheese\" moments of pride while also acknowledging areas where they can grow.

They thought it was so cool that we are the only classroom on campus with a 3D printer and are absolutely fascinated by it! Even better, we are learning how to operate it together, problem-solving as a team, and becoming experts in no time.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our students and supporting classroom learning opportunities.
