Your support truly makes a difference in creating a space where students can grow, learn, and fall in love with reading.\r\n\r\nI am passionate about teaching important life skills and lessons through the magic of books. From learning how to behave in the classroom with stories like Volcano Mouth to understanding responsibility and caring for our planet with books like What If Everybody Did That?, these stories help shape both character and understanding.\r\n\r\nReading time is also a chance to strengthen comprehension skills.

We got the items very close to the end of the school year, so I have not had the opportunity to do an entire class yet. Your donation has already started making an impact though. \r\n\r\nOn the last week of school our TK classes had Lunch at n the Lawn. This is where families get to join their students and picnic with them. As you can imagine though, there are always some students that are not able to have their families join them. Whether it is due to the parents working, foster, or transportation, you were able to turn their sadness into joy. For this Lunch on the Lawn, those students, with many emotions and tears, were able to have Lunch with the Librarian. I feel blessed that I just so happened to walk in as these emotions were playing out. I ran into my library and grabbed the \"Sun\" bin. I was able to show them the power of the sun, even on an overcast day. They all were able to find their nature materials and create their own Cyanotype art. \r\n\r\nSo thank you for helping provide so that these students went from feeling left out, to being the ones all the kids wanted to be. \r\n\r\nYou have made a wonderful impact, I look forward to doing more projects with my students in the future.
