The moment my students walked in and saw it for the first time, their eyes lit up with excitement. One student shouted, \"It's so soft!\" while another said, \"Now it feels like home!\" That single moment made it clear just how meaningful your gift truly is.\r\n\r\nSince then, the rug has become the heart of our classroom. We use it every morning to gather for community circle, share stories, and set the tone for the day. During reading time, students naturally gravitate toward the rug, choosing to sit together with their books and buddies. It's also our go-to space for math talks, science experiments, and team-building games. This simple addition has created a cozy, welcoming environment that encourages collaboration, comfort, and connection.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has given my students more than just a rug—it's given them a space where they feel safe, valued, and excited to learn. As we dive into our first few weeks of school, we're using this space to explore goal setting, classroom routines, and social-emotional learning.

I am incredibly grateful for any help you can offer, and I want to share why your support means so much to both me and my students.\r\n\r\nHaving basic classroom supplies—like glue sticks, tissues, scissors, paper, ink, disinfecting wipes, and Lysol spray—may seem simple, but they are truly essential for a successful school year. These items directly impact how well students are able to learn, create, and stay healthy in the classroom environment.\r\n\r\nGlue sticks, scissors, and paper are tools we use daily in hands-on learning, interactive notebooks, art projects, and activities that bring lessons to life.\r\n\r\nInk allows us to print engaging materials, individualized assignments, and visual aids that help reach different types of learners.\r\n\r\nKleenex, Lysol, and Clorox wipes help us maintain a clean, safe, and healthy classroom—crucial for keeping young learners in school and ready to focus.\r\n\r\nMany students come to school without the supplies they need, and as a teacher, I strive to provide them with everything possible to ensure they are comfortable, confident, and prepared to learn. Your generosity helps relieve the burden on families and allows me to focus on what matters most: teaching and supporting each child.\r\n\r\nYour contribution, no matter the size, makes a real difference.

They couldn't believe that people outside of our classroom cared enough to make sure they had what they needed to stay fueled and ready to learn. For many of my students, having that little boost during the day helped them stay focused and engaged in their lessons rather than distracted by hunger.\r\n\r\nWe use these snacks daily, and they've become an important part of our classroom routine. For example, during a recent reading block, several students who normally struggle to stay on task were able to participate longer and with more energy after enjoying a snack. It may seem like something small, but that moment of focus made a big difference in their learning and confidence.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, my students are not only better able to concentrate, but they also feel cared for and supported. The next step for us is to keep building strong learning habits as we dive deeper into our reading and social studies projects.
