My classroom is definitely running more smoothly these days. Students are welcomed into the classroom with a bright cheerful little rug that makes the space feel more comfortable and helps prevent mud from being tracked into the classroom on rainy days. \r\n\r\nStudents then turn in their cell phones to the wooden box that I received through your donations! Without a cell phone distracting them, students are now much more likely to engage in the class discussions and get work done. This has truly changed the tenor of the classroom this school year. \r\n\r\nLastly, students are also able to charge their devices thanks to the purchase of the charging station. Many students use chromebooks and computers throughout the day and need to charge them. Providing students with this helpful station is a way to show students that I am working with them to give them what they need to succeed.

Having enough calculators ensures every student has the chance to learn at the same pace and build confidence in their math skills.\r\n\r\nThe binders and dividers have given students a structured way to organize their notes, assignments, and practice problems. For many, this is the first time they've had materials to keep their work neat and accessible, and it's already helping them develop stronger study habits and take more pride in their learning.\r\n\r\nThe cleaning products are helping us keep our classroom safe and welcoming.
