Many of them couldn't believe that these were just for them—and brand new! One student immediately asked, \"We get to keep these? Like, really keep them?\" It was such a heartwarming moment to see how much something so simple meant to them. They proudly wrote their names on the covers and started organizing their materials right away.\r\n\r\nWe're using the binders every day in science. Each one is now a personal science journal where students keep their class notes, homework assignments, and reference materials. It's made a huge difference in reducing lost papers and confusion, and it's helping them build the habits of responsible learners.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in my students and giving them the tools to succeed.

Students were excited to take the algebraic concepts we are learning and using the manipulatives to bring it to life. Combining like terms and isolating variables always gives the students trouble and when we first introduced the concept there were lots of blank stares. When the students opened up their bag of dice and pawns their faces immediately lit up and learning became fun for them. Several students asked to do more examples on their mats and were finally getting comfortable with algebra. We even had students ask to stay after school just to use the mats more. This is a real game changer. Without your support algebra would have remained an illusive struggle, but now its fun.
