These new books about doctors, teachers, police officers, firefighters, and so many other helpers will let us explore how each job makes our community stronger. We'll read together, answer \"wh\" questions, act out the stories through pretend play, and connect the characters to the real-life experiences my students already have.

Technology plays a huge role in helping my students explore new ideas, complete assignments, and work collaboratively.

With the cart, our devices are now safely organized and fully charged, so every minute can be spent learning, creating, and growing. My students are especially excited about having a \"home\" for their devices, and they can't wait to help organize and label each charging slot, learning responsibility and teamwork in the process. This technology helps them build essential skills, from reading comprehension to digital citizenship, in ways that are engaging and meaningful. Students who previously struggled to keep track of their devices will be more confident and independent in managing their technology.

I love watching teenagers get excited about books and reading!\r\n Since we set up the library, the students have been using it daily. One student comes in several times a week before homeroom to return a book and take out a new one. Another student will take a book out in the morning, and then return right before dismissal to exchange it for a new one - he read the entire book already and wants another one to take home. A few students are using the books for a project they have in another class. They needed a book that they were able to read, and that class only had books that were too hard for them.\r\n I am so happy that I am able to give my students the opportunity to read books on their level and to learn about the enjoyment of reading.
