That moment captured exactly what your gift means to us: confidence, excitement, and the joy of learning. We've been using the new resources during small group reading time, science, and STEAM time. The materials are helping us build vocabulary, phonics, and comprehension—all while making learning feel like play.\r\n\r\nAs a Title I school, resources like these make a world of difference. We're currently working on a storytelling unit where students use pictures and sentence frames to create their own books.
