Yesterday was the first day we had tutoring since all the snacks arrived. It was so nice to be able to offer the students so many different choices. I was quite happy that quite a few of them picked veggie straws, one of the healthier snacks. They should definitely last for the rest of this semester, maybe even into semester 2.\r\n\r\nThe ice machine is going to be a game changer. I plugged it in this morning and I was so surprised when the first batch took less than 30 minutes! I thought it would take hours. \r\n\r\nThanks again for your generosity.

I have a book club starting soon, and I can just picture the kids laying around on the rug, and using the backrests to be comfortable while we discuss the book. \r\n\r\nThe puzzles are also terrific.

I wish I could have take a picture of their reaction.\r\nBecause you have donated the money for these shoes, we are now allowed to use the gym to have our PE class in. Prior to that, if a student did not have shoes, which was very frequent, they could not participate in our PE class in the gym.

Instead of only telling students what good behavior looks like, I can celebrate students who are showing their classmates a great example.\r\n\r\nSometimes I surprise students in the moment, and other times we work toward a behavior goal for the day or week.

At the end of the week, I can recognize students who consistently demonstrated those expectations.
