I feel like social emotional learning is getting left by the wayside when we only are able to focus on testing and scores in schools. I hope to use these as read aloud in the morning before a class meeting to be able to focus the discussion on how to regulate our emotions and focus on how to treat others in the classroom. \r\n\r\nMany student come to class not having these relationship skills and it makes it hard for kids to make friends and be a good member of our school communities.

Sometimes handwriting is not the most fun for students to have to work on. With chrombooks becoming bigger and bigger students aren't getting as much practice as they should and are now being less and less able to even read cursive. \r\n\r\nWith these pens the students should have a great time learning cursive as an art form and make it their own. For students who really love it, I can teach them how to use water colors to create their own ink to put in their pen.

Cross stitch is such a fun activity to teach kids because they can choose any project that they want to. With the beginner kits I can teach them the basics and then let their creativity soar. After the beginner kit they can then pic their own pictures and use the trace board to set their patterns to fabric. \r\n\r\nI plan on using these for my in class activity and then for the students who are able to stay after school we will do bigger projects.

These texts support important skills like vocabulary development, reading comprehension, and confidence in using Spanish.\r\n\r\nReading time has become one of the most exciting parts of our day. Students eagerly choose books, read independently, and participate in small group discussions where they share ideas and help one another. It is inspiring to see them making connections and building confidence together.\r\n\r\nSome students who were once hesitant are now excited to read in Spanish.

The headphones are neatly stored in the organizer you kindly donated, which has helped keep our materials accessible and orderly.\r\n\r\nAs part of our Spanish Dual Immersion program, students regularly engage in structured discussions about real-life topics. The timers you donated allow students to track their conversations and encourage one another to add more detail and depth to their responses.\r\n\r\nYour donations have truly helped increase student engagement and academic discourse in our classroom.
