The kids were so excited when they first saw the bin of buddies at Open House! They spent the whole first week meeting the different characters from our bin who come from different book series, and have been so eager to play and read with them. I'm so excited to see the book buddies in action with stations as students get more independent in their reading time. \r\nThe students are also enjoying the posters and signs around the room! Students from last year have come back to visit very disappointed that they didn't have a fluency friend, so they've scheduled some times to come read!

A few students even wanted to know when they would get their bags, which led to a fun conversation of graphing everyone's birthdays on the calendar. \r\nIt has also been a big blessing to start the year with a full snack cabinet! We've been able to help students who need a mid-day pick me up, forget a snack, or need something to eat at their afterschool club.

They help students feel calm, maintain focus, and stay engaged with their work.\r\n\r\nThe Instax film has allowed us to capture first-day photos of our students, helping create a welcoming classroom community and giving each child a special keepsake.

Because of you, I received ink, laminating pouches, and cardstock that allow me to create engaging math stations and learning activities that support students across our entire school.\r\n\r\nAs the school's math coach, I use these materials to design high-quality, reusable resources that are shared with multiple classrooms and grade levels. Teachers are able to implement engaging stations, small-group activities, and hands-on practice that meet the needs of diverse learners.\r\n\r\nThe impact has been powerful. Students are more engaged and confident as they interact with math in meaningful ways, and teachers feel supported with ready-to-use resources that enhance instruction. Having the ability to laminate and reuse materials ensures consistency and sustainability, allowing these resources to benefit students again and again.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is helping strengthen math instruction school-wide and create learning experiences that are engaging, accessible, and effective for all students.
