Each station focused on a different subject we've covered this year—math, reading, science, and social studies. For example, at the math station, students used colorful manipulatives and dry-erase boards to solve word problems in a game-show format. At the reading station, they played a \"sight word scavenger hunt\" using flashcards and storybooks funded by your generous donations.\r\nThe excitement was contagious! When the students walked in and saw the new materials—brightly colored games, hands-on tools, and engaging visuals—they gasped and immediately started asking questions like, \"Can we start now?\" and \"Is this all for us?\" One student said, \"This is the best day ever!\" The new resources made the classroom feel like a celebration, and their enthusiasm showed in how eagerly they participated.\r\nAs we wrap up the school year, our next step is to reflect on everything we've learned and celebrate our growth. We're creating \"Memory Books\" where students write about their favorite lessons, what they're proud of, and what they're excited to learn in third grade. We'll also host a \"Review Carnival\" where students rotate through stations to earn stamps on a \"passport\" by completing review challenges. These activities not only reinforce key concepts but also build confidence and a sense of accomplishment.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, our classroom has been filled with joy, learning, and unforgettable moments.
