Thanks to your generosity, kids will get to advance their musical knowledge and make personal connections to music by being able to perform their favorite music on the piano.\r\n\r\nThe students were shocked to hear that a company funded the entire project! They were so excited to see all of the keyboards and had so much fun trying the keys and different sounds from all the buttons. They are looking forward to spending many music classes learning how to play them with correct technique, putting their rhythm and note reading knowledge to use, and getting a chance to play music that they love.\r\n\r\nThe next steps for the kids are to start teaching them the 5-finger hand position and to learn beginning songs like \"Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star\" and \"Are You Sleeping?\" Once they can play simple songs like this, we start looking into how to play popular songs and music that the kids will recognize and music from video games and movies.\r\n\r\nThe kids can't wait to spend more time working with the keyboards and connecting with music they love.

The rolling cart has been a HUGE help for storing Chromebooks and headphones as well as moving between classrooms. Having the 6 shelves gives students less Chromebooks to search through and the cart pushes so easily. Headphones are stored on the side with hooks. I am able to label the shelves with magnetic numbers which is helpful as well. \r\n\r\nThe rest of the funding went to supplies to help stations work. These little hooks hold images for phonics practice. Lamination sheets help keep station work from getting ripped up.

Each morning, after hanging up their backpacks, students dive into the STEM bins and supplies you provided. They can choose to work independently or with partners, giving them a chance to be creative while building collaboration skills as we ease into our day. It's an engaging and productive way to start our mornings, and it sets a positive tone for learning.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their excitement was priceless! They clapped and immediately began sharing stories about having similar items at home or seeing them in stores. Introducing our morning bins felt like opening a treasure chest—students were eager to explore, build, and create right away.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we plan to expand our creative opportunities by exploring open-ended art projects. Our goal is to request craft supplies that allow students to express themselves while strengthening fine motor skills that support writing and typing stamina.

The seat sacks have been especially helpful for keeping our materials organized. Students now have a quick and easy way to store their clipboards, whiteboards, and reading/writing companions that we use every day. It's amazing to see them turn and grab exactly what they need in seconds, which keeps our lessons running smoothly.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, they were beyond excited! They loved using the dot markers during our first week to design their name tags. There's even been a little friendly competition over who gets to sit in the scoop rockers and use the surf desks during reading time—it's been such a fun and motivating experience for them.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we plan to focus on reading fluency, which is a key skill for second graders. We're excited to design projects and activities that will strengthen this area. Our next steps include incorporating online platforms and adding more supplies to make fluency practice engaging and effective during our daily reading block.

The air mouse will help me keep the students engaged by being able to change slides quickly without having to walk over to the computer each time or bring my keyboard over. The bluetooth speaker will be used when I coach Girls on The Run and for Friday mornings when I play music in the hallway as students enter. Brain flakes are a HIT in my classroom for morning bins. The zipper pouches will be used to carry headphones between classes. The carpet tape will be used so I can have a green line and a blue line instead of one really long line.

The pencil pouches will be used to carry their supplies from reading to math since they will have two teachers to go to this year. The wooden circles will be used as centerpieces for my desks so that supply caddies can go on them. I have a few students who do not respond well to loud noises such as fire drills, so the noise cancelling headphones will be great to have to accommodate to them in those moments. My students are OBSESSED with playdoh and we go through cans very quickly. Let's see if 48 cans can last us the year haha. The remote control outlets will help me turn on and off my lamps quickly. The birthday chair covers will help me add one more special piece of magic to someone's birthday!

The books that you send are a super hit in my class. My students are not native Americans and are in my multilingual classroom. Books like Frizzy and Mexikid allow my students to feel good about themselves, their cultures, and their hair. They are learning how to be proud of their heritage and countries while trying to adapt to the culture and language of another country. \r\nMy 5th graders were so excited reading these books; they loved talking about them because these topics came naturally to them. They see themselves in our characters and learn many academic concepts while having fun. Again, thank you for sending the books to my classroom, where my kids can see themselves.\r\nThe next thank you is for your snacks. I believe that a hungry kid can never learn. The teachers must have snacks handy so our kids can give their best without worrying about food. I understand that these snacks are not food, but when the kids are hungry, these snacks are nothing short of blessings from the Donors.
