The students love being able to sit on comfy chairs to work in small groups, pairs, or simply to complete independent work. For example, the students sat in small circles to play a whisper down the lane game. The flex seating is currency in the classroom as a reward for productivity.\r\n\r\nThe led lights add so much to the classroom ambiance, which make room 236 a calming space for students to learn and grow. The classroom does not have any windows to emergency lighting so the led lights offer softer light in the class for a darker mellow vibe for students to chill. \r\n\r\nWe very often use the class set of dry erase boards for formative assessments like quickly translating a sentence. They also come in handy when we play Pictionary in Spanish to practice our vocab. They are really key in helping students reach learning goals in a fun and engaging way. \r\n\r\nWe thank you so much for your support and generosity. Our schools are better because of people like you who support the needs of students even if the state doesn't do so adequately all of the time.

The dry erase whiteboards have become an indispensable tool for our daily lessons. We use them for everything from brainstorming sessions and quick problem-solving exercises to collaborative group work.\r\n The provision of feminine products has also been incredibly valuable.
