These materials have allowed me to better meet the diverse needs in my classroom by providing additional scaffolding for students who need extra practice, as well as enrichment opportunities for students who are ready for a greater challenge. As a result, students are more engaged, more confident, and better able to access grade-level content.\r\n\r\nThe resources have also helped strengthen student understanding in key areas such as reading and foundational skills. Students are now able to practice skills in multiple ways, which has increased retention and participation. I have seen students who previously struggled feel more successful, and students who were already proficient remain motivated and challenged.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped create a more inclusive and supportive learning environment where every student has the opportunity to grow and succeed.
