Your donations and gift cards made such a difference as we kicked off the new school year!\r\n\r\nI used your contributions to purchase beginning-of-the-year projects that helped my students build important foundational skills. We started with name-building activities that encouraged letter recognition, spelling, and confidence - it's always so special to see their pride when they can spell and recognize their own names. I also added fine motor skill activities that have helped my students strengthen their hands and coordination in fun, hands-on ways. These early learning tasks set the tone for a year full of growth and creativity.\r\n\r\nIn addition, your support allowed me to restock and refresh my classroom store, which I use as a positive incentive system. The store has been such a hit! Students earn \"class cash\" for meeting expectations, showing kindness, and working hard, then get to shop for fun items each week. It's amazing how motivated and excited they are - the classroom buzzes with energy on shopping day!\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped me create a positive, engaging classroom environment right from the start.
