Your support has truly transformed this space into a warm, inviting area where students are excited to read and learn. The lamps bring a cozy, calming glow that makes the corner feel special, and the new books have sparked a lot of excitement among my students. Your gift has created an environment where reading feels like an adventure instead of an assignment.\r\n Since setting up our new reading area, I've noticed students choosing to spend more time with books—both during reading workshop and during free time. They love finding a comfortable spot under the soft light of the new lamps and diving into stories that take them to new worlds. The additional materials you provided have helped make this space organized, welcoming, and perfect for independent reading or small-group lessons. It's quickly become one of their favorite places in the classroom!\r\n Your generosity has made a lasting impact on our students. They feel proud to have a beautiful place dedicated to reading, and they are developing stronger reading habits and a deeper love for books every day.

Your support means the world to my students and me. Because of your kindness, we now have the everyday supplies we need—like pencils, Kleenex, and snacks—to keep our classroom running smoothly and our students focused on learning. Your gift has already made a big difference in creating a caring, comfortable environment for everyone.\r\n The Chewy bars have been especially helpful for students who need a little energy boost during the day. Having snacks on hand keeps everyone alert and ready to learn, especially during our longer lessons. The new pencils ensure that every student can participate and do their best work without worrying about not having materials, and the Kleenex helps us keep our room healthy during cold and allergy season!\r\n Your generosity has not only provided supplies—it's reminded my students that there are people out there who truly care about their education. They were so excited to see our new items arrive and wanted to say a big \"thank you!\" from all of us.

One special moment came during our poetry project—several students shared how having a healthy snack helped them stay energized and creative as they worked through multiple drafts of their poems.\r\n\r\nThe excitement on their faces when they first saw the bins stocked with snacks was priceless. Many of them couldn't believe that these treats were provided just for them, and they immediately expressed gratitude.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're continuing to build on our writing projects, and these snacks will help fuel their concentration as they brainstorm, write, and share their work.

With Read to Be Seen: Stories by Underrepresented Authors, my students are learning to recognize the power of representation in literature. Through these books, we have been able to discuss important skills such as identifying themes, analyzing characters' choices, and making text-to-self connections with stories that feel real and relevant to their own lives.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom has become more vibrant and meaningful. Students are not just practicing fluency and comprehension—they are pausing to ask questions, make predictions, and share their reflections with one another. Many of our class discussions have been deeper and more thoughtful because the stories spark authentic curiosity and empathy.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who used to be reluctant readers are now asking if they can take these books home. One student proudly announced that she \"saw herself\" in a main character for the very first time, while another said the stories helped him understand experiences different from his own. These moments remind us how powerful it is to give children access to books that reflect both who they are and the larger world around them.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, reading has become a source of joy, connection, and discovery in our classroom.

The impact has been immediate and powerful.\r\n\r\nWhen the new materials arrived, the excitement was contagious. Students eagerly opened boxes of notebooks, pencils, and folders—items that may seem small but make a world of difference in their daily learning. One of my favorite moments was watching a group of students dive into a social studies project, each proudly using their own set of supplies instead of borrowing or waiting their turn. The smiles on their faces spoke volumes about how much it means to have the right tools at their fingertips.\r\n\r\nAlready, these resources are being put to good use. Students are writing stories in their journals, solving multi-step math problems, and using their notebooks to track their own academic progress. This has helped them set goals, reflect on their growth, and feel a sense of ownership over their learning. Having equal access to supplies has encouraged collaboration and boosted confidence—students no longer hesitate to participate because they are missing something.\r\n\r\nThe next step for us is building on this momentum with a poetry project. Students will be drafting, revising, and publishing their own poems, using their supplies to brainstorm ideas, experiment with structure, and create final copies they are proud to share. Thanks to you, every child can take part fully and confidently.\r\n\r\nYour support has given my students not just supplies, but also dignity, confidence, and excitement for learning.
