The students reacted with overwhelming excitement, especially when they are chosen to sit in the comfy seating area—it's become a special privilege they truly look forward to.

Your generosity has made a meaningful impact in our classroom. With your help, we were able to provide students with clipboards, writing folders, and fresh pencils.

Because we have flexible seating, my students often choose to work around the room or on the carpet, and the new clipboards have given them the freedom and stability they need to write comfortably and confidently wherever they choose.\r\n\r\nThe writing folders have been another wonderful addition. They help my students keep their drafts, notes, and final pieces organized as we move through the writing process. I've already seen a boost in their independence and pride as young authors.

The kids have loved my new addition of an alphabet table where they get to rotate through different activities to learn about our new letter and sound of the week.

We got asked daily to let them play with the new items!\r\n\r\nIt's so great to see the kids use their imagination and creativity building different items out of the candy construction pieces and come up with a name for what they built.
