The floor pillows and new lamp have transformed a small corner into our favorite flexible seating area where students go to read, write, and recharge during independent work time.\r\n\r\nThe art supplies you donated, especially the colored pencils, Sharpies, and cardstock, have made a huge difference during our writing and literacy projects. Students now illustrate scenes from our novels, design creative covers for their stories, and decorate anchor charts that we proudly display on our walls. Even something as simple as having sharpened pencils ready each day has improved focus and reduced disruptions.\r\n\r\nYour support helped us not only learn better, but feel better. My students have taken such pride in keeping the classroom organized with the storage cubes and cleaning tools, and they love earning small rewards like Starbursts for showing growth and effort. A clean and comfortable classroom has helped them stay motivated, calm, and excited to walk through the door each morning.\r\n\r\nWe are beyond grateful that you chose to invest in our learning.
