Having a better breakfast-in-the-classroom experience and a multimedia boombox to access different educational CDs and DVDs that engage my students and provide different access points to content they need to learn.\r\n\r\nHaving cleaning supplies handy at all times makes a huge difference when breakfast is served in classrooms nowadays. Just recently our paper towels came to the rescue when one of my students knocked over his juice box and there was orange juice all over the table, chair, and floor. Paper towels on hand helped with the clean up and wiping down of all surfaces in no time, getting the table ready for learning without any sticky residue to contend with. And having bamboo spoons available when they only need a spoon to eat their breakfast means a plastic-wrapped spork with plastic straw does not need to be opened, saving some plastic waste from heading to the landfill.\r\n\r\nOur new boombox will be used for whole group instruction while offering me the flexibility of working with a small group. I will even be able to connect my classroom playlist of songs from my phone to play on this boombox. Our new boombox will be a welcomed addition to our classroom and instruction.\r\n\r\nThank you, again, for your donation.

Some open up their treat and eat it immediately, while others ask if they can take it home for later, but all have a smile on their faces because they are having something they enjoy. Sometimes knowing that they may have a food treat is enough motivation to stay a bit longer to work and improve their reading and math skills.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for providing my students' favorite snacks.
