One student who was fidgeting and blurting everyday first semester while not making growth has transformed into a model student with a snack each afternoon. He has been polite and kind to his Classmates. He is also reaching third grade milestone after milestone. In fact his mom just got a phone call that he mastered his multiplication facts. As I was pulling up her number I realized he hasn't had a redirection documented in months. The supplies you help purchase increased everyone's motivation and buy in. For a few kids it has been life changing. They love school. They love learning. They are meeting stretch goals. I am so appreciative that you helped me give my classroom these incentives.
