Classroom supplies often run out by winter break, and it becomes challenging to teach effectively without the materials we rely on every day.\r\n\r\nMy students are especially enthusiastic about their crayons—you might even think they were \"eating\" them with how quickly they disappear! There is always so much excitement when students receive fresh supplies for their crayon boxes.\r\n\r\nWe also love to draw, and having blank white paper allows students to express their thinking after a read-aloud. They enjoy illustrating their favorite parts of a story, which helps deepen their understanding and engagement.\r\n\r\nWithout generous donors like you, many of these essential supplies would have to come out of my own pocket.

I've gained a much deeper understanding of how makerspaces are intended to be run and how to truly empower students to take the lead in their projects and explorations.\r\n\r\nThese books have guided me in discovering the many different forms that makerspaces can take — from open-ended building to creative problem-solving.
