Instead of black-and-white copies, they'll hold bright, meaningful representations of their hard work — something they can proudly display and take home to share with their families.\r\n\r\nYour support doesn't just provide a printer.

When students earn trophies, it shows their dedication, perseverance, and growth. The candy rewards have become a fun and meaningful way to celebrate their accomplishments and motivate them to keep trying their best.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the rewards, they were excited and proud of what they had earned. Even more importantly, they felt recognized for their effort and progress. These small celebrations have helped build confidence and encourage a positive attitude toward learning.\r\n\r\nYour support has made a real difference in our classroom by motivating students to work hard and take pride in their achievements.

Students are now able to hear clearly and stay focused throughout lessons.

Your donation has made a meaningful difference in our classroom and has had a direct impact on students' engagement, confidence, and learning.\r\nWeekly Reader has given my students consistent access to high-interest, age-appropriate nonfiction texts that connect reading to the real world. Each week, my students eagerly look forward to reading about current events, science topics, and social issues that help them better understand the world around them. Because the articles are written on their level, my students are able to practice close reading, build vocabulary, and strengthen comprehension skills with confidence.\r\nOne of the most powerful outcomes has been the increase in student discussion. Weekly Reader has encouraged my students to ask questions, share opinions, and support their thinking with evidence from the text. Even my reluctant readers feel successful and motivated to participate. For many of my students, this has helped bridge the gap between \"learning to read\" and \"reading to learn.\"\r\nYour support has also helped students develop critical thinking skills. They are learning how to analyze informational texts, identify main ideas, and make connections across subjects. These skills are essential for academic success, especially as reading demands increase in the upper grades.\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students feel valued and supported. They see that people beyond our classroom care about their education, and that knowledge alone is incredibly empowering.

They immediately began pointing out letters they recognized, especially the ones in their own names! Many of them ran to \"find their letter,\" proudly sitting down and calling it out to their friends. The bright colors and clear letters captured their attention and made learning feel like play.\r\nThanks to this new resource, our students are more engaged and confident as they explore early literacy skills. Our next steps include using the rug for letter-sound matching games, name recognition activities, and interactive storytelling where students move to letters as part of the lesson.
