Because of your donation, our students now have access to new reading resources that are already making a meaningful difference in their learning experiences.\r\n\r\nSince receiving these materials, our students have been highly engaged and eager to use them, especially Books on Wheels Mobile Cart. Many students have expressed excitement about reading time and show increased confidence when approaching text. The resources provide structured, accessible opportunities for students to practice foundational reading skills, including phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, and comprehension. Teachers have observed students participating more actively, persisting through challenging tasks, and celebrating their progress as they develop new skills.\r\n\r\nThese materials are now being incorporated into daily instruction, small-group interventions, and individualized practice. The next steps for our students include using the resources to strengthen decoding skills, expand vocabulary, and improve reading fluency. As students gain confidence, they will apply these skills to more complex texts, supporting both academic growth and a lifelong love of reading.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has had an immediate and positive impact on our students' learning and motivation.

Unfortunately because it is getting into the fall season we haven't been able to do much with our items. Our students were very excited to hear about the new club that is going to start. They kept wonder why I was always getting boxes sent down from the office. They are very grateful to have been able to be given these opportunities. They were already asking what types of plants we plan on growing. We are planning on getting our garden into full swing in the spring time. The custodians built the one raised bed but we still need to build the other ones. I know the special education teachers are excited as well because it will be a great opportunity for our schools c-setting students to get real life lessons. Right now in class we have been learning about types of organisms, how plants are alive just like humans and how they too have a life cycle.

I can gladly say that the rug really ties the whole room together. When parents came in for Meet the Teacher they all had compliments for it. My students love sitting on it for our read alouds and math groups. Everyday the students are asking to use the wobble seats at our back table. It's crazy how just a few items can really change the feeling of the room. Our library is now really cozy with the foldable seats. The student even love using the manual vacuum at the end of the day. They just going back and forth cleaning the carpet and taking turns. \r\n\r\nWe are currently learning about animal adaptations in reading. We've been creating arrays and learning multiplication in math. We even were using Playdough and Cheez-its to create our arrays. For social studies we have been learning about what it means to be a citizen and our Right and Responsibilities. Overall we have had a great start to the year and I can gladly say that this project has definitely helped with that. I enjoy looking at my classroom everyday and so do the students.
