Students have been able to go back through the book and reread chapters to help with reading comprehension and some students have even had the joy of taking home the book to continue reading or getting caught up on missed chapters.

Thanks to your donations, we received a wide range of amazing materials including the Bouncy Band chair bands, play couch, wobble cushions, sticky easel pads, earbuds, Expo markers, and a classroom pocket chart. Each item has already made a meaningful impact on our learning environment, helping to create a more engaging, supportive, and flexible space for all students.\r\n\r\nThe excitement was immediate when the boxes arrived—students were eager to help unbox and assemble everything. The play couch quickly became a favorite reading nook, while the wobble seats and Bouncy Bands offer movement options that help students stay focused and comfortable during lessons. One of our favorite moments so far has been watching students take ownership of their learning by choosing their preferred tools to stay engaged, especially during our current project-based learning unit where they're researching and presenting on California's natural resources. The sticky easel pads have been perfect for collaborative brainstorming, and the earbuds have allowed for more independent research time using digital tools. Your donation didn't just provide materials—it gave my students a sense of pride and possibility.
