I have a place for children to get the snacks themselves, and they are so thankful. It's so nice to have a variety of snacks for the kids to choose from. One little boy in particular was so excited when he saw the snacks. He asked, \"Can I take one for my friend too?\" When I said yes, he got something extra for her. I found out later it was for his little sister. We never know what these kids are facing at home, so your donation goes a long way.

I'm not exactly sure what kind of magic makes so many pencils disappear in an elementary school, but we sure have experienced a lot of it this year.\r\nDry erase markers are used so often that we are constantly throwing ones that have died in the trash. It's became almost a little joke in here from all the dying markers that we even had a moment of silence for all those we lost. (LOL) \r\nCardstock is worth its weight in gold to me.

This made it very difficult to have conversations about math concepts and collaborate without being distracted by everyone else at the table. We felt like sardines.\r\n\r\nWe love our new tables. Students now have space to spread out and be fully engaged with their partner or small group. Students have been working on their multiplication facts through games. They have worked on solving complex math problems as well as teaching each other procedures for performing basic operations.\r\n\r\nHaving these tables provides space for us to work. Not being on top of each other also provides a calm, organized area that eases the stress of working in a small space.
