Your generosity has already made a huge difference in our students' daily learning experience. The new supplies like glue sticks, folders, pencils, and our new pencil sharpener, have helped our classroom run more smoothly and have given students tools they are excited to use every day.\r\n\r\nStudents use the folders to organize their desks and classroom work. They were so proud to have \"real classroom supplies\" of their own to care for. During a recent science project about plants, students used the glue sticks and materials to create plant life cycle diagrams. They were fully engaged, helping one another, and showing so much creativity and confidence.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, students will continue using these resources during multiple subjects. We are currently working on opinion writing and collaborative learning activities, and having enough supplies for everyone allows students to stay focused, creative, and confident while they learn.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our classroom and our students' success.

The majority of my students come from low income housing - including motels and trailers. Many come to school without clean clothes or showers. That is why I think that it is so important to have a safe and clean space for the students to come to every day.

From their we move on to consonant digraphs such as ch, sh, th, wh and have them build or read words.

We also use the sight words in literacy groups and they love the challenge. The SEL puzzle is a favorite amongst the students and is used often.\r\n\r\nI have implemented the journals as a part of our weekly morning routine. This helps with literacy, writing, and SEL.

This is has such an impact on all students from pre-k up to 5th grade. Every day there is at least 1 student who needs a change of undergarments and pants for one reason or another, and many of the parents do not have the ability to get to school in a timely manner to bring a change of clothes. Having these extra clothes items will ensure any student who needs to change can do it quickly and discretely. \r\n\r\nSince our school is title 1, the clinic does not get any resources from the title 1 budget so all of our supplies come from a general budget; and due to this, we cannot keep clothes stocked.

We also use books to practice speech sound targets in a natural way through repeated exposure to key words and phrases.\r\n\r\nOne book we have especially enjoyed is Pip and Posy, which was donated through this project. Even though the language relatively accessible, my preschoolers were still introduced to new and rich vocabulary such as \"snatched\" and \"cross\" (as in upset). Students practiced predicting the characters' feelings and what they might do next.
