I find students think best on paper, so having a printer easily accessible helps me prepare materials every day as well as be able to meet student needs by printing another copy or something new in the moment. I have always asked students to provide notebooks for class but having them provided was a big deal--I didn't have to ask students to spend money or wait for them to come in.

Thanks to your generosity, students can more easily locate their binders. Its a small thing, but anything to save some time is helpful!

He's sweet and funny and incredibly happy. He uses an iPad to communicate, but struggles to remember to charge it at night. One day, he came in with the battery at 1%. He said, \"Hello\" and then... fade to black – it died. When that happens, I can charge it while he is at the gym. But we've been working on getting him to remember to charge on his own. I included the picture of his success. One more day coming in with a battery over 50% and he is getting a well-deserved treat. I cannot tell you how luxurious it feels to have all our iPads (for communication, therapy, testing, etc.) charging simultaneously and safely stored and locked away.

I want to tell you about one of my students. He's smart and funny, but he's tough. He's one of those students who needs to trust teachers before he'll learn from them. He and I have come a long way. He's not always keen on the idea of coming to do work in speech. So, I changed my approach. I invite him to come have a snack in my room and just chat. Those chats have built our relationship to what it is and have contained quite a bit of advice and support that he needs. He got speech while he thought he was just having a snack. Sneaky? A little. But we've had some great speech sessions as a result. So, thank you! I also want to mention the significance of THE YELLOW CHAIR. Maybe you remember the prestige of getting to sit in a rolling, swivel chair in high school. Students get to use it at the big computer when we do serious work. They love it. These little joys make all the difference in the world and they are thanks to you.

One of my students is working on having a growth mindset. As a result, he's gotten over his fear of reading aloud and knows that mistakes are not only normal, but an important part of learning. I made a deck for our Idiom of the Week, which is a favorite in speech-language therapy. We learn that \"break a leg\" isn't a threat – it means \"Good luck!\" Students love unpacking figurative language and the funny meanings when we are too literal.

With your help, I now have all my students boards on my own iPad. I can update, revise, organize, and then airdrop the changes right to the student's iPad. While I still need time to program, the students only have to wait a few seconds and their devices are up to date and ready to go. I could not have afforded this software on my own.

I use it several times throughout class to model close reading, display student work, annotate texts, and walk students through note-taking and brainstorming in real time. For my students—many of whom thrive with visual and hands-on learning—being able to see thinking modeled clearly and collectively has increased engagement and understanding.\r\n\r\nOur new geographically correct world map is permanently displayed and referenced daily.

Having an accurate, accessible map has strengthened students' ability to make global connections and deepen their comprehension.\r\n\r\nEven the electric pencil sharpener has had a powerful impact. By keeping it in the classroom, students no longer need to leave the room to sharpen pencils, which has significantly reduced missed class time and interruptions.
