Having a table in class has provided my students a place to collaborate and play together. The students were so excited to come into class and see the table. It made them feel comfortable because it was similar to Kindergarten.\r\nI am going to work on getting a few more tables to offer all of my students the same comfort and opportunity to sit at a table to collaborate with their classmates. It takes up less space and makes the class feel so much cleaner and calmer.\r\nI plan to continue to build a community in my classroom and encourage them all to work together.

The students use their individual slots to organize their work, which helps them take ownership of their learning and keeps our classroom tidy and efficient. When they first saw the mailbox shelf, their faces lit up with excitement—it was like having their very own space to keep their important papers and projects safe.\r\n\r\nOne special moment was during a writing lesson when each scholar carefully placed their finished story in their mailbox. It made them proud and eager to share their work with classmates. This simple tool has encouraged responsibility and independence in our daily routines.\r\n\r\nNext, we're using the mailbox system to organize homework packets and personalized learning activities. This helps me differentiate instruction even more effectively and gives students a clear way to track their progress. Your support has truly helped us build a more organized and empowered learning environment.
