Teaching children to read is now a Kindergarten skill that needs to be taught. It's just not learn your letters and sounds anymore. This is very difficult when students all come in at different levels and readiness. Having books at varying levels in the class means that everyone can read books. One student might be reading I see a ball. I see a cat. Whereas another student might be able to read I see a ball bouncing in the street. I see a cat chasing the ball....... Your donation has made reading a priority that is reachable to all students.

You provided my students with materials that are strongly impacting their learning. My students enjoy looking at the books, using the sensory toys to stay focused and manage different sensory situations, and the decorations help bring a calm environment. The sensory play kits have really given my students a way to explore different textures. Two of the students use the noise canceling headphones all day to block out overwhelming sounds and noises. The bean bag and stuffed animals help provide a calming environment. Unfortunately, not all my students were given permission to have their photos taken, so I am unable to take pictures with them using the materials.
