The joy and appreciation were evident as they eagerly explored the materials. These resources have helped create a more focused and comfortable learning environment, ensuring that every scholar has what they need to stay engaged throughout the day.\r\n\r\nOne memorable moment was during our ELA lesson with Reading Horizons, they did not remember that they now had whiteboard dry erase markers to complete their activity, when one scholar remembered, they all joyful took out their pencil case and searched for their marker. It was wonderful that they no longer had to use paper and pencil but now they could work with the marker and erase mistakes. \r\n\r\nThe new supplies allowed my scholars to fully immerse themselves in the lesson, and having snacks available ensured that no one was distracted by hunger. This has been especially helpful during small group instruction and independent work time, where scholars can concentrate on their tasks without worry.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has not only provided supplies but has also reinforced the importance of a caring community that believes in their potential.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making a difference in our classroom.

My scholars' enthusiasm for learning, especially in ELA and math, has only grown with the addition of these valuable resources.

Seeing them confidently put their ideas on paper has been truly rewarding.\r\n\r\nThe markers have brought a new level of engagement to our lessons. Scholars now use them to highlight key concepts, illustrate math problems, and create colorful story visuals, making learning more interactive and enjoyable. One particular student, who was initially hesitant to share his ideas in class, has been using the markers to illustrate his understanding of story elements and problem-solving strategies, boosting both his confidence and participation.
