Our brand-new Happy Face placement rug has completely transformed our group meeting area into a bright, cheerful, and inviting space where learning and laughter happen every day.\r\nBefore, our classroom rug was dark, worn, and dull — but now, the light-colored rug fills our room with warmth and positivity. The smiling faces and soft texture create an instant mood boost, helping our students feel happy, focused, and ready to learn. This rug has become the heart of our classroom community — where we gather for morning meetings, stories, songs, and celebrations.\r\nOur students love finding their own special \"happy face\" spot each day. It gives them a sense of belonging and helps with personal space, routines, and transitions. The brightness of the rug has even lifted the whole classroom atmosphere — making our learning space feel clean, fresh, and full of joy.\r\nBecause of you, our classroom is not only brighter, but our students' spirits are brighter too.

Our new comfort corner and library area features a soft rug, a modular couch designed for building forts, and a cozy spot for reading and relaxing. The students love rearranging the couch pieces to create forts, castles, and quiet spaces where they can imagine, create, and self-regulate.\r\nOur beautiful dollhouse bookshelf, filled with tiny furniture and dolls, along with our new puppet stand, invites endless storytelling and pretend play. The children choose books right from the dollhouse shelves to inspire their stories, acting them out with dolls and puppets as they build friendships and explore emotions through play.\r\nThis special area has truly become the heart of our classroom. Even our students with special needs find joy and comfort there — exploring, communicating, and creating in their own unique ways. It's a safe, magical space where everyone belongs, learns, and dreams together.\r\nBecause of you, our students now have a beautiful space to imagine, connect, and grow.

My students are using the new materials and treats to rotate through centers where they practice reading, writing, and word work in fun and engaging ways.\r\n\r\nOne of the best moments was watching their faces light up when they first saw the new supplies. They were so eager to dive in, and the treats quickly became a special incentive that kept them focused and motivated. For example, during a recent small-group reading activity, I saw even my most reluctant readers stay on task because they were excited about both the new center activities and the rewards waiting for their hard work.\r\n\r\nOur next step is to keep building stamina and independence in our centers. The resources you provided give us the tools to make literacy practice enjoyable, while also helping students strengthen their reading skills and confidence.

Our Pre-K students are naturally drawn to these colorful tiles. They've used them to build everything from rocket ships and animal habitats to dream homes and castles they say they'll live in one day. Every structure tells a story — one full of imagination, creativity, and confidence.\r\n\r\nEven years later, these Magna-Tiles continue to spark joy. Former students return just to revisit the blocks they loved, and other classrooms borrow them during indoor recess. This donation has now inspired three generations of learners, spreading far beyond our original project goals.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our scholars aren't just learning to build — they're learning to dream, design, and believe in their ideas.\r\n\r\nYour support made this lasting impact possible.
