As a math teacher, we use markers and white boards every single day to practice our math skills. The markers are constantly drying out, and every day multiple kids need a new marker. Providing these has ensured that we have enough markers to last the year! We also use the notebooks daily, as we begin each math lesson with a \"quick review,\" where the kids answer three or four math questions they have learned earlier in the year so they don't forget previously taught skills. The pencil holders have also been so nice, because the kids can always find a pencil sitting right in it...they no longer have to search the floor or their desk to find a pencil to do their independent work.

I have been making slushy's for the kids every Friday this year, and they absolutely love it. As soon as they finish the current week's slushy, they are asking what flavor it will be next week! Having the slushy's has been a motivation for the kids to do their best, because in order to earn one they have to do their homework, classwork, and follow the rules of the classroom. We have enjoyed so many different flavors already...from Fanta, to coke, to strawberry lemonade, and more. The machine makes it so easy to create a nice treat for hard-working kids.

I truly believe my classroom is comfortable and warm, and a great environment for kids to learn in. The string lights create such a cozy feeling, and the LED's add a nice ambiance as well. All the plant decor adds to the feel of calmness that people feel when they come into my room. The clock has been a nice addition as well, as the kids can clearly see the time and they enjoy the colors the display has.

Because of your generosity, our students now have easy access to clean clothes, personal hygiene items, and other essentials when they need them most.\r\n\r\nAccidents happen...especially in an elementary school! Whether it's a spilled lunch, a bathroom accident, muddy clothes from recess, or simply needing a personal care item, I never want a student to feel embarrassed or ashamed about asking for help. Our Care Closet is located right in the clinic restroom and is open and accessible to everyone. There is no need to ask or explain—students can simply take what they need.\r\n\r\nThis project is about so much more than clothes and hygiene supplies. It's about protecting a child's dignity and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at school. Being able to quietly change into clean clothes or grab something they need can turn an embarrassing moment into a small bump in their day. They can take care of themselves, regain their confidence, and head back to class ready to learn.\r\n\r\nI want my clinic to always be a place where my kiddos know they are loved, respected, and taken care of.

Having products available for curly, coily, wavy, textured, and straight hair means that when a student comes to the clinic needing a little help, I can offer them something that actually works for their hair.

Because of the generosity of our Donors Choose supporters, we were able to add 20 new nonfiction books to our collection, including biographies of inventors, explorers, scientists, and changemakers, along with books about coding, robotics, and artificial intelligence.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe new narrative biographies have been especially meaningful. Students get to read about real people who had big ideas, faced challenges, made mistakes, and kept going. They see that the people who changed the world didn't necessarily start out knowing exactly what they were doing. That is an important message for elementary students to hear.\r\n\r\nThe updated technology books have also opened the door to new conversations in our library. Coding, robotics, and artificial intelligence are topics our students are hearing about in everyday life, but many of our older nonfiction books couldn't keep up with the changes in technology. Having current, age-appropriate resources allows students to explore these subjects in a way that is both fun and meaningful.\r\n\r\n\r\nThank you for helping make those questions possible. These books will be read, shared, talked about, and loved by our students for years to come.
