You all have continued to show your support and dedication in helping us teachers get the basics we need year-after-year. \r\n\r\nI sit in gratitude and have pondered the thought of what my classroom would be like without your contributions to all my awesomeness. I realized that so much of what I have been able to share, build, create, and achieve is because of your donations. From books to art, yoga balls to a standup desk, and supplies to treats, none of it would have been possible without you. \r\n\r\nThis years contributions have allowed me to take care of the little things that make my lessons even more fun. Mardi Gras Masks and writing notebooks will be a huge hit. \r\nVibrant colors, creative stories, and of course, glitter to make this project come alive.

My students were anxious to get on their computers so they could try out the new headphones and clean their screens. Numerous students commented on how comfortable the new headphones are and really enjoyed them. Having all students using headphones during computer time allowed the students to stay focused and engaged in their online math and reading program for the required time.

This project filled with deodorant and feminine products for my class will give them that little extra confidence as they all start to go through those awkwardly challenging changes during puberty. Something, so little and simple to share with them, will make all the difference. Worrying about the changes, being at school, or not being able to talk to an adult at home, will help reassure them that they are taken care of at school and by me. Hopefully, conversations can begin.\r\n\r\nDonors Choose has continued to amaze me with all the love and support they have offered throughout my years of teaching.
