Being a teacher comes with a lot of responsibility that goes beyond the classroom. I have always tried and will support my students with my personal income but it has added up and I have make decisions with things my classroom needed, food included. \r\n\r\nStudents should not have to worry about food when coming to school, and thanks to your generosity, my students have snacks and supplies that will help them be fueled to learn and grow. I am forever grateful for this donation. Anytime a student asked where their headphones and snacks came from, I get to say from very generous people who wanted to make sure you had what you need. \r\n\r\nOur classroom has talked about the importance of giving back, we have completed two donation drives and our classroom being the top donor for the whole school.

The moment these books were processed, the young ladies you see in the photos were ready and waiting—each of them checked out two books immediately to dive into these new worlds!\r\n\r\nWe've already seen a shift in the library's atmosphere. This project has sparked high-energy conversations about the fantasy genre and what it means to be a hero. We talk about dragons and epic battles because these are the types of books the librarians read. As circulation among our older students had begun to dip earlier this year, this influx of fantastic stories couldn't have come at a better time.\r\n\r\nBy providing stories where these girls see their own strength, intelligence, and bravery reflected in epic landscapes, you haven't just given them a book—you've opened a door.

No student needs to feel ashamed or embarrassed for forgetting a snack. A grab and go creates less anxiety for students to feel singled out.\r\n\r\nThe granola bars, breakfast bars, applesauce pouches and fruit snacks are favorites in my room!

I am now back to a full class set. Each student has their own seat sack that houses their iPad, headphones and their handwriting journal. These sacks help students stay organized and the flow of my classroom is much smoother because we aren't getting up as much to retrieve materials. Additionally, when we play inside due to rain, I now have enough canvas storage boxes for my Legos, Lincoln Logs and blocks. Many of my older storage boxes are broken.
