Having coffee available helps us welcome families as they arrive and makes these gatherings feel like a true community event.\r\n\r\nThese mornings are about much more than breakfast. They provide opportunities for dads and father figures to connect with their children, talk together, participate in activities, and create memories that our students will carry with them. Your donation helped us make these events more inviting and enjoyable for everyone who attends.\r\nWe are so grateful for your support of our school community.

This resource has already made a meaningful difference in the way I assess my kindergarten students and plan instruction to meet their individual needs.\r\n\r\nESGI allows me to quickly assess specific kindergarten skills and see exactly what each child knows and which skills still need additional practice. Instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach, I can use the assessment information to form small groups, provide targeted instruction, and give students additional practice in the areas where they need the most support.\r\n\r\nThe immediate feedback from ESGI has also helped me monitor student growth throughout the school year. I can celebrate students when they master a skill while continuing to provide extra support for students who are still developing foundational skills such as letter recognition, letter sounds, phonemic awareness, sight words, and early reading skills.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, ESGI helps me make informed instructional decisions so that every child receives the support they need to be successful. In kindergarten, building these foundational skills is so important, and having accurate information about each student's progress allows me to be more intentional with my teaching.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and giving me a valuable tool to\r\n help guide instruction.
