These TPT gift cards has made such a huge difference in our classroom, in so many ways.\r\n\r\nI've been able to purchase monthly morning work activities that are not only fun and engaging, but also help my students settle into their day with confidence and excitement. Your support has also allowed me to provide early-finisher activities that reinforce newly learned skills in a way that feels like a reward rather than extra work.\r\n\r\nI've also been able to bring in new reading group materials, especially focused on phonemic awareness, an area that is foundational for kindergarten success. These activities have added structure, variety, and joy to our classroom. I've already seen students grow especially in letter and number formation.

The school printer is down another hallway and takes five to ten minutes to get to the printers, print and get back. Sometimes the printers are jammed, have no ink or paper.

The headphones are so helpful for students to use to reduce distractions and calmly listen to books being read to them and their online lessons. \r\n\r\nThe markers are very helpful to provide students with tools that fit the classroom tasks. Students are excited to find markers that they can use to draw themselves and their diverse families.

We also use them to store lost marker lids and manipulatives for small group work. The sturdy 10-tier drawers have made it so much easier to keep our math and reading group materials organized and ready to go. The mesh bags have also been a game changer, each student now has their own set with a whiteboard, dry erase marker, and eraser, helping them learn to be responsible for their own tools.\r\n\r\nLastly, I repurposed the book bins into an \"unfinished work\" station, giving students a place to store and easily find their ongoing projects.
