Students were able to have binders set up in Week 1, with all of their \"cheat sheets\" and study folders to take home. This embeds executive functioning and soft skills that they'll use for a long, long time. \r\n\r\nWe so appreciate everything you contribute.

The materials you provided have already made a meaningful impact on my students' learning, engagement, and motivation. \r\n\r\nSince receiving the bookcase, we've been able to organize one of our classroom libraries in a way that makes books more accessible to students. They now have a variety of texts within reach, allowing them to choose books that interest them and support their reading goals. The incentive charts, stickers, and punch cards have become a huge hit! Students eagerly update their progress after each reading activity, and the visual tracking has encouraged friendly competition and accountability. The red pens and dry-erase markers have also played a crucial role in helping students self-assess their work, provide peer feedback, and promote ownership of their personal growth. \r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting moments was watching my students' faces light up when they saw the new bookcase filled with books. Many of them immediately started browsing, excitedly picking out stories they wanted to read. When we introduced the incentive system, a student who usually struggled with motivation was one of the first to ask, \"Can I update my chart now?\" Seeing them take pride in their progress and set personal reading goals has been truly rewarding. \r\n\r\nCurrently, we are working on strengthening reading stamina and comprehension. Students are using their incentive charts to track their reading scores and reading Lexile growth. Every day we celebrate small wins along the way with stickers and snacks as rewards. As we continue, our goal is to help every student reach their individualized reading targets, using self-assessment tools to refine their understanding and improve their accuracy. \r\n\r\nBecause of your support, my students have a more engaging and motivating reading environment.
