As soon as I put the growth-mindset borders around our whiteboards, the whole room brightened up.

Because of you, we don't lose precious learning time hunting down a working pencil or waiting on copies.\r\n\r\nHaving a fully stocked printer right in our room means I can print out their graphic organizers and resource packets the second they need them.

They will measure growth, compare which seeds sprout first, and learn firsthand about the plant life cycle.

One student loves drawing and is learning to say his colors (he definitely has favorites!). Another loves to build and construct. Another loves music, and to my surprise and delight, has taught himself (with some help) to take a record from its sleeve, place it on our new turntable, lift and drop the needle and viola! I am from another time and generation, and so have lots of records to share. The ability to hold and look at an LP/visual and connect it with particular songs has been especially wonderful for these sensory learners (Scott Joplin is the favorite of the month). The scarves were a bigger hit than I imagined. \r\n\r\nThe kids love touching and playing the instruments, understanding by senses how when you hold an instrument one way, no sound- but another way, sounds that you can make and control. \r\n\r\nBest of all, these items stay with the classroom for all students who come in the future.

But he learned how to play records on the record player provided by you in less than a week. At the moment, his favorite records are Leon Bibbs Sings Folk Songs and Scott Joplin. Another student loves to draw and color. All the students love the scarves and lying on the fluffy blue carpet. They have a room with things just for them, and this creates confidence and belonging. \r\n\r\nTogether with your help, we are learning how to communicate and share our thoughts and feelings through exploration of sensory play, books, music and art.
