They could hardly wait to start building, testing, and exploring! We have already started using the materials during our STEM centers and choice time. Students work together to design towers, bridges, and imaginative creations using the connector blocks and snap cubes. The Blocks & Blueprints sets have sparked incredible teamwork and problem-solving conversations. I often hear students saying things like, \"Let's make it stronger!\" or \"What if we try it this way?\" The playdough and magnetic materials have given students new ways to experiment and express creativity, all while strengthening fine motor and spatial skills.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, my students are developing early engineering habits like testing ideas, revising their work, and celebrating creative success. They are discovering that they are scientists, builders, and innovators! Next, we plan to use some of the STEM kits as part of our science unit on \"Forces and Motion,\" where students will explore push, pull, and balance through hands-on challenges.

The alphabet and word-building activities have been a huge support in helping students connect sounds to letters and the fine motor games have strengthened their coordination and confidence. One of my favorite moments was watching a student use the sounds we had just learned to build and read a CVC word with the magnetic tiles and his classmates cheered for him!\r\n\r\nThese resources are helping my students build strong foundations in reading, math, and language development while also encouraging collaboration, problem-solving, and independence.

Many of the texts have been used to support early literacy skills, especially phonics practice. My students are learning to connect letters and sounds, recognize sight words, and build confidence as beginning readers. At the same time, the variety of titles has allowed me to challenge my handful of higher readers who are already reading above grade level, giving them engaging materials that help them grow while still feeling included in our class community.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is a joyful, active time—students gather for shared read-alouds, practice sounding out words during small group lessons, and beam with pride as they read familiar books independently.

From those scores, student select a reading book slightly above their reading level. My classroom library is color coded by reading levels. Every day my students read silently for 20-25 minutes. When they complete their book they take a comprehension quiz. If they pass, they can move up levels. The books you donated gave my students more of a variety at each reading level. They are excited to pass levels and read the new books. \r\n At the beginning of the year most students were not reading at grade level.
