Because of you, students will be able to have working mice and headphones to work on their computerized math lessons. Many students do not have working headphones and choose to mute the lesson to not disturb the other students. Now students can hear the lesson that is programmed as an individually prescribed tutoring session. Their mice also have a lot of wear and tear and break or go missing, and the mousepads on the computers may not be operating. They are thrilled to have these devices. \r\nMy second graders get to earn parties by filling in pieces of a chart each time they complete a lesson successfully. They have already won one bubble gum party and one popcorn party. They cheered each other on to fill in the charts.

Students engaging in artistic activities were encouraged to think creatively and find innovative solutions to challenges. Creating the art required students to plan, make decisions, and evaluate their work, which enhanced critical thinking skills. Many of the projects completed by students taught that mistakes are part of the learning process, encouraging perseverance and resilience.\r\n\r\nWorking with various materials helped students develop visual-spatial awareness, which is crucial for subjects like mathematics and science.\r\nUsing tools like brushes, scissors, and pencils helped improve fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. \r\n\r\nSome of the art activities involved group work, promoting teamwork and collaboration among students while encouraging them learn to appreciate diverse perspectives. Engaging in art after testing was therapeutic, providing students with a way to relieve stress and anxiety. Looking at their completed art projects boosted students' confidence and self-esteem, contributing to a positive classroom environment. \r\n\r\nIn summary, providing art supplies in the classroom enriches the educational experience by promoting creativity, cognitive development, emotional well-being, and collaboration, ultimately leading to a well-rounded education.\r\n\r\nNone of this would have been possible without you. These resources are making a significant difference in our classroom, allowing students to explore their creativity and engage more deeply with their learning.\r\n\r\nYour commitment to supporting public education and the growth of our young learners is greatly appreciated.
