We had guest speakers come in from the community, architects and some from our government offices. \r\n\r\nThat's when the real fun began. They made models of businesses in the community using the graham crackers, frosting and other goodies, provided by you. We shared our communities with other classrooms using Zoom. \r\n\r\nWe also created holiday cards for another project and these were sent out throughout the United States and received some back in the mail.

Because of your generosity, my students now have access to a wide variety of engaging books that match their individual reading levels and interests.\r\n\r\nThe reading incentives you helped provide have made a tremendous impact on student motivation. My class tracks their Accelerated Reader progress in 25% milestones, and the excitement when they earn a reward is incredible to watch. Students proudly wear their reading dog tags, use their bookmarks, and absolutely love receiving their \"I Made My Goal\" ribbons. These celebrations have created a culture where students are eager to read, monitor their progress, and work toward meaningful goals.\r\n\r\nSince implementing these resources, I've seen students choose to read for enjoyment and show measurable growth in their reading performance. Our most recent round of testing showed noticeable increases in reading scores, which I truly believe is connected to their increased independent reading and engagement with books at their level. Your kindness has helped create a classroom environment where students feel motivated to read. You have helped make reading FUN!

The reading incentives and book bins have made a tremendous difference in my classroom and have helped my students stay focused, motivated, and successful with our Accelerated Reader program.\r\n\r\nThe book bins have been incredibly helpful. I was able to organize our classroom library by reading level, making it easy for students to find \"just-right\" books. This organization has also helped me identify which levels I need to add to our collection. Our classroom library now looks inviting, organized, and truly supports independent reading.\r\n\r\nThe reading incentives have been a huge motivator for my students. We use a progress chart at the back of the room so students can track their percentage growth, earning a new reward every 25%. These milestones help them stay encouraged and focused by breaking their reading goals into achievable steps.\r\n\r\nA veteran teacher inspired me to emphasize A.R. goals, and since implementing this program, I have seen remarkable changes. My students are choosing to read for fun, taking greater accountability for their learning, and parents are becoming more involved by asking how to help their children find books at their reading level. After our most recent round of testing, I saw impressive growth in my students' reading scores - progress I truly believe is a direct result of their independent reading through Accelerated Reader.\r\n\r\nYour support has provided my students with the tools they need to grow as readers, and I am so grateful for the positive impact you have made in our classroom.
