Having access to a color printer is essential as they explore graphic design platforms like Canva and publish their work through Book Creator. Seeing their printed images displayed and watching students ooh and ahh has been absolutely priceless.\r\n\r\nI am truly grateful for your support and hope you will continue to help other teachers in need in the future.

Thanks to your donation, we now have a high-quality monitor that allows every student to engage more fully with visual lessons, videos, and interactive activities.\r\n\r\nThis addition has transformed the way my students learn. They are more focused, excited, and responsive during lessons. We've been able to integrate multimedia resources to support language development, model writing and reading strategies, and explore new topics together as a group.

The materials and experiences I was able to provide my students as a result was amazing. I am sure the activities resulted in them remembering their first year of school fondly forever.\r\nI was able to change the dramatic play area into a camp site. The students were able to \"fish\" and use the campfire for s'mores. Both activities provided not only language learning but math as they measured their fish with the ranger. The s'mores activity showed students being able to follow step by step directions. It was a very popular center and the students were exposed to experiences they had never been introduced to before. \r\nWe also used the animal crackers as a culminating activity after our trip to the zoo. Using new vocabulary about the animals and their habitat, then going home and sharing the experience with their family members.
