One of our favorite moments happens during reading and writing time, when students use the whiteboards to practice answers before sharing aloud. This has been a game-changer for confidence—students who were once hesitant to participate are now eager to show their thinking. The book holders have also helped students stay focused and comfortable during independent reading, allowing them to better engage with the text.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, their excitement was immediate and genuine. They couldn't wait to try everything out! The fidgets have been especially helpful for students who need movement to stay focused, and the snacks have made a big difference for students who struggle to concentrate when they're hungry. Seeing students feel supported, calm, and ready to learn has been incredibly rewarding.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, students will continue using these resources as we work on strengthening reading comprehension and written responses. The whiteboards will support daily practice with key ideas and text evidence, while the book holders and fidgets will help students remain engaged during longer learning blocks. Thanks to you, our classroom feels more supportive, inclusive, and focused—and my students know that people beyond our school believe in them.
