The students never had a vegetable garden before and really took pride in tending to them and nurturing them.

However, the students had lots of language learning and practice to do and timing ended up working out well for their demonstration in Japanese. \r\nDuring the winter break they cooked a Japanese meal for their family and after winter break, each student cooked and demonstrated how to make the recipe they researched all in Japanese and each shared a little of their dish with the entire class. There are only boys in their class and all dishes included the vegetables you made possible for them to raise and all students were full after sampling each dish. They now value raising their own vegetables and trying healthier dishes and learned a lot of Japanese in the process.

Because of your support, our classroom has been transformed into a vibrant, welcoming hub that truly feels like a community. When the large green area rug, leaf cushions, and rotating bookshelf arrived, my students were absolutely ecstatic. They couldn't wait to kick off their shoes, grab a cushion, and dive into their books. One student even remarked that the room finally \"felt like home,\" which is exactly the kind of safe, comforting environment I hoped to create for them.\r\n\r\nWe have been putting these resources to work every single day. Currently, the students are using the green rug and cushions as our dedicated \"Annotation Station.\" Equipped with their new colorful markers, they gather in the space to track their reading thoughts, jot down questions, and share comments on their latest texts. It has been wonderful to see them so engaged; the flexible seating has turned what used to be a standard desk assignment into a collaborative, cozy experience. Beyond academics, this space has become a vital area for students to reset and rest during their busy school days. I've noticed a significant increase in students visiting during their breaks just to connect with their peers and build meaningful relationships in a relaxed setting.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are moving into a deep-dive literary analysis project where students will be using the star stickers to \"rate\" different chapters of our class novel on a shared wall chart. They will continue to utilize the rotating bookshelf to organize their research materials as we transition into our next unit on community storytelling. Your contribution didn't just buy furniture and supplies; it created a sanctuary where my students feel valued and inspired to learn.
