One student told me, \"I actually feel confident doing this now.\"\r\n\r\nThe creative supplies—Astrobrights paper, markers, and vinyl—brought new energy to our English and history projects. Students proudly used them this week to create colorful Animal Farm visual summaries, and several asked to display their work in the classroom.\r\n\r\nOur next steps include using the planners for weekly goal-setting and continuing hands-on math activities with the new tool sets.
