Thank you for giving each child in my room one more way to be successful in learning to read.\r\n\r\nOn the first day of school we started with the first word on the list. I can imagine what they must have thought when this strange lady they had just met told them to stick out their little tongues and say \"THU\" over and over and over.

I'm hoping that using these sight words over and over in context as they have fun at home will help them be more fluent readers.\r\n\r\nWe have great expectations for our students and now we have a great way to help them achieve thanks to your generous funding of our project.

We have used these materials to talk about science, practice letters and sounds, and strengthen fine-motor skills through drawing, writing, and playful exploration. These simple items have turned everyday play into valuable learning experiences and have given our students opportunities to explore, create, and learn together.\r\n\r\nWe are also excited to use the remaining donations as they connect with our upcoming curriculum. As we learn about birds and nature, our students will paint birdhouses while exploring real birds and the fictional story Odd Bird, which teaches an important lesson about kindness and accepting others despite our differences. We are also learning about how things grow and will soon be planting in our classroom garden. The students will paint rocks to add to our garden, giving them another hands-on way to express their creativity while learning about plants and nature. Every donation is helping us create a classroom where children can learn to express creativity and curiosity.

I know the power of having books in homes, and your generosity makes it possible for many families to have that chance every day. We read them in class and the kids share them at home. Our butterflies have recently made there chrysalises, so our butterfly books are in high demand right now.
