I was recently transferred to two new schools and needed some time to catch up. Fortunately, I am serving the same number of students, so your generosity continues to have a meaningful impact on students across Las Cruces.\r\nThe calculators, protractors, and especially the graph paper have been incredibly helpful. My students were able to practice math skills they do not often get the chance to use. Many of them had never even handled the classic blue calculators before, which made the experience exciting and new. The graph paper has been the biggest success. Students across all elementary grade levels are using it to better organize their work, and it has made a noticeable difference in their understanding and confidence.\r\nThe Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards were also essential. Our district does not have extra funds to provide gifted teachers with supplementary resources, so this support truly filled a gap. My students were able to use engaging math centers they needed, along with a resource I did not expect them to love so much, Math Mysteries from Mrs. J.\r\nI truly could not have made it through this year without your generosity and support.
