Your donation has had a wonderful impact on my classroom.

They love applying their math skills to real-world scenarios and are developing stronger critical thinking abilities as a result. I also purchased vocabulary cards, which have made learning new words more visual and easier for students to understand and use in context.

My students and I are so appreciative of having some fresh and new comfy floor seat options.\r\n\r\nMy students are very motivated to earn table group points throughout the week because the winning table group gets to use the comfy floor seats all week throughout the following week. This classroom management system has helped keep my class engaged in their learning every week.\r\n\r\nThe whiteboard has been a very important addition to our classroom as well. I write all of our classroom and school events on the whiteboard each month and my students and I go over upcoming events each morning.
