Students sit together, share thoughts about the books, and enjoy listening to stories in a way that fosters connection and joy. During independent reading time, the rug has become a favorite spot to relax with a good book. None of this would be possible without your kindness.

Your support has transformed this space into a cozy, welcoming area where students can take a moment to breathe, regulate their emotions, and refocus before returning to learning.\r\n\r\nThe furniture you helped provide has made such a meaningful difference — students genuinely love spending time in the Calm Corner and take great pride in how it looks and feels. During our recent Open House, several students were so excited that they brought their parents over to see it! It was wonderful to watch them explain how the space works and proudly show the materials they use to help regulate their emotions. Moments like that truly show how much ownership and value they've placed on this special area.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our students' well-being and for believing in the importance of social-emotional learning.

We unpacked everything together, and the excitement in the room was unforgettable. The new writing materials and learning tools gave us the opportunity to enhance our literacy and fine motor centers. Students are now more eager to practice writing letters and drawing pictures to express their ideas. One student, who was previously hesitant to write, now rushes to the writing table during center time just to grab the new crayons and paper!\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just provide materials—it gave my students a sense of importance and pride. They know that someone believes in them, even from afar. As we continue working on kindergarten readiness, these resources are playing a big role in preparing students for success in the next grade.
