We also were able to create props to help our characters come to life. \r\nThough that was all for our after school theater club, in my fifth grade classroom, we're currently working on gathering enough class sets of books to do novel studies throughout the year.

They loved being able to find the exact color they needed without having to dig through a messy box, and several of them even commented on how \"grown-up\" and organized it made our class feel. It's such a simple change, but it has given them a sense of pride in taking care of their supplies.\r\n\r\nThe highlighters have been just as special. During a reading activity on main idea and details, my students were thrilled to use different colors to mark important parts of the text. What could have felt like another routine assignment instead turned into something fun and interactive. They were eager to share their highlighted passages and could clearly see how the details connected back to the main idea.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, these tools are being used every day to keep us organized and engaged.

Students can easily access their materials during lessons without disrupting the flow of the class. One favorite moment was during a writing activity—students were able to quickly pull out their journals, crayons, and colored pencils from their pockets, and we jumped right into our creative work without delay. The pockets have also helped me spend less time distributing materials, allowing me to focus more on guiding small groups and individual students.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, my students now have a system that encourages independence and organization while making our classroom feel neat and welcoming. The next step is to use these organized pockets to support project-based learning and collaborative activities, where students can easily access all the tools they need to create, share, and learn together.

For many of my students, having brand-new supplies of their own feels incredibly special, and the room quickly filled with smiles and chatter as they imagined all the creative projects they could make.\r\n\r\nWe've already been putting these supplies to wonderful use. The crayons, markers, and colored pencils have brought so much energy to our art projects and interactive notebooks, helping students express their ideas in colorful, creative ways.

The kids love being able to quickly find a book that interests them, and they often gather there to share their favorites with each other.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments was when a student pointed to the shelf and told a classmate, \"You have to read this one—it's right here!\" That sense of ownership and excitement has really changed the way they approach reading time. Now, our library feels like a central part of our classroom, and students are choosing books more eagerly than ever.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students are reading more and enjoying it in a space that truly belongs to them.
