In our first writing project, students used their binders and folders to collect drafts and revisions, helping them see their growth over time. During a science lesson, they used markers to create colorful diagrams that made their ideas come alive. These moments showed me how much more engaged and creative they can be when they have the right tools at hand.\r\n\r\nYour support has given my students the chance to start strong, feel equal, and thrive from day one.

The resources you provided have truly transformed our learning environment, and I want to share a few highlights of how your support has made a difference.\r\n\r\nStudents were extremely excited about painting. \"We even have easels,\" one students shouted with glee. \"Can we paint right now?\" another asked. Your donation allowed us to create a space where students could express themselves, collaborate with their peers, and simply have fun. After a year of hard work and growth, these moments of joy meant more than words can express.\r\n\r\nAnother highlight was us taking some the supplies to our Annual Field Day at the Park. Here students were able to use the jump ropes, flag house trampoline paddles and the bubbles. \"This was the best day ever,\" yelled one shy student. It was wonderful to see her enjoying and socializing with her classmates. I know this was a turning point for her as she opened up and interacted with her classmates.\r\n\r\nYour kindness is helping us to end the year on a high note, giving students memories they'll carry with them.

Because of your kindness, our classroom is now filled with vibrant, engaging books that have truly transformed our reading experience.\r\n\r\nThese new texts have opened doors to a world of learning. The books by Gary Paulsen has sparked many conversations, and students are debating which of his books they like best. They are integrating knowledge and ideas by making connection between the books and even self to text. We've been able to dive into themes like empathy, perseverance, identity, and survival. These big ideas that spark rich conversations and critical thinking. The students are developing skills such as making inferences, analyzing character development, comparing texts, and drawing connections to their own lives. Most importantly, they're learning to think deeply and independently about what they read.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading is not just a quiet activity—it's alive. Students gather in small groups for book discussions, and pair up for buddy reads. There's a buzz during reading time that's exciting to witness! Several students who were once reluctant readers are now among the most enthusiastic. One student, who previously struggled to finish a chapter, now races to class asking if we'll have time to read. Another shy student shared how she finally sees herself in a character, and that simple connection has made her more confident in participating in discussions.\r\n\r\nYour donation has done more than fill baskets, it has sparked curiosity, built confidence, and helped create a community of thoughtful, joyful readers.
