Yes, these materials were specific to actually creating the products for the Expo, but they went beyond that. Our kids were able to learn about unit prices, prototypes, business plans and business loans. It might have seemed like a lot of craft supplies, but with our students' imaginations and the skills they learned through our Entrepreneur unit, they are walking away with skills setting them up for a future in business.

We will have lesson plans and materials included as well so this hands on experience will include multiple learning types.

Your contributions were used to purchase brand-new socks, ensuring that we could meet the urgent needs of local shelters and organizations in our community.

These organizations were thrilled to receive such a significant donation! \r\nThe impact of Socktober extended beyond providing socks—it created a lasting legacy of empathy and community involvement within our school.

Your donation made it possible to provide decodable readers for my students, and I couldn't be more grateful.\r\n As a Reading Specialist, I work with many students who find reading grade-level texts in their classrooms challenging. These decodable readers are making a big difference! They are specially designed to help students practice phonics, improve fluency, and build comprehension skills. Most importantly, they are giving my students the confidence and joy that come from successfully reading a book.\r\n One of my students was so excited that he even brought some of the readers home to share with his family! Moments like these remind me how impactful your support truly is.\r\n I'm looking forward to using these books with my 1st and 2nd graders during this second semester. Thanks to you, I know they'll have opportunities to grow and shine as readers.\r\n Thank you again for supporting our classroom and helping my students experience the joy of reading.

Whether they're giggling over silly rhymes or pointing out interesting facts in nonfiction books, these moments of discovery wouldn't have been possible without your support.\r\n\r\nThese books have done so much more than just fill our shelves—they've opened up new opportunities for learning. During storytime, my students are fully engaged, asking questions, making predictions, and sharing their thoughts about the characters and stories. I've watched as they've started picking up books on their own, \"reading\" the pictures, and even retelling the stories in their own words.
