This new resource not only enhances the presentation of our reading materials but also serves as a visual invitation for students to explore the fascinating world of science. Now some students have taken magazines home, which is a great benefit in these days of social media.

Since our school has limited materials for science experiments, I try to acquire sets of 3 or 6 science experiments to serve 6 tables, each with 4 students, matching our usual classroom size of 24 students per section. This year, everyone was fully engaged and focused on their work. Additionally, the M/M candies have been very popular and have increased classroom participation. I notice students are more deliberate in their responses during discussions. Homework completion has also gone up.

One student in particular, who often hesitates to participate in class activities, has become eager to engage because of the printed materials.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped create a more inclusive environment where every student feels supported and capable.
