As resources are limited, many classroom essentials are purchased out of pocket. Having a consistent supply of copy paper is a game-changer, alleviating one less worry for me. The seat sacks have been incredibly helpful in maximizing our limited storage space; our classroom is small, so these provide much-needed organization for the students' materials. The dry-erase markers and rags enable students to practice and easily erase their work. My students work diligently and love to clean up after themselves.

Now that I've had your donation, I am free to let them use as many as they need (or sometimes don't need). The feeling of being able to freely share these items without worrying about running out and having to purchase more makes my heart grow. \r\n As we approach winter, I have to share that I have already been sick a few times.

It requires students to login using a class code as well as 3 special picture codes that are individual to each child. These picture codes are bright colors. However, I had to print them out in black and white which caused some of the children to get confused or unable to login. Now, I will be able to reprint them in color which will not only help them with logging in because they can match the colors, but it will also help with practicing the color names.\r\nAgain, I can't thank you enough for generosity.
