This year, math looks a little different for my students as we incorporate an online component that provides personalized intervention and helps build essential digital literacy skills. Having access to headphones allows each child to focus on their individual tasks without distraction, making these learning experiences far more meaningful.\r\n\r\nMany of my students come from low-income households and are unable to provide their own headphones, so building a class set has been an important goal of mine. Thanks to your contribution—and the 13 pairs we previously received—we are now much closer to having enough for every student. Your kindness will benefit not just this year's class, but future students for years to come.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping create a focused, supportive, and equitable learning environment for my students.

The twistable crayons will allow them to create art without the frustration of frequent breakage, helping them learn how to apply appropriate pressure and build confidence in their fine motor skills.\r\n\r\nWriting is one of the most challenging content areas to spark interest in, and nationwide, students are showing less engagement and aptitude in writing from Kindergarten through high school.
