It makes us all feel special, seen, and important. We work hard in our classroom each and every day, and having a beautiful, organized environment to do that in means the world to us. \r\nFrom the very bottom of our hearts, we THANK YOU!

I began first with introducing the word journals. The word journals act as personal word walls for students. Every time they do not know how to spell a word, they record it in their journal. What a collection of words they have acquired ! They now ask to get their word journals every time they begin a writing project. I have also found them helping one another too.\r\n\r\nThe writing folders have enabled them to begin to understand the writing process and organize their writing pieces into the various stages.\r\n\r\nThe interactive journals have proven to be an engaging way for students to strengthen their phonics skills. The writing prompt journals during center time have encouraged them to respond to fun and interesting prompts. They love sharing their stories with one another!\r\n\r\nThis project has improved my students writing abilities and fostered a love for writing which I hope will be life long.

Scholastic News has had a huge impact on our learning and love for reading. My students are able to develop skills such as reading comprehension and vocabulary development through Word Work.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom whenever we use Scholastic News we begin by watching a video on a particular topic. Students watch a video that helps give them background knowledge on the topic. Then we watch a slideshow on new vocabulary words that they will see and hear when reading the article. We listen to an audio of the article as students follow along, and highlight sections that support our vocabulary, and reading comprehension. We finish our lesson by completing a Word Work printable.\r\n\r\nAll my students enjoy and appreciate Scholastic News. We look forward to the new articles that we receive each month.

Every morning students collect their toolkit to get ready for a fun filled day of learning. The best part is when a supply runs out, I have a new one ready to go! It has always been difficult to replace supplies throughout the year, making projects difficult. I was even able to stock our Writing Center with scissors, colored pencils, and erasers.

Ours is an impoverished district with many needs. Most of our students are language learners or have a variety of learning challenges. This collection of books is on their reading level and because they are historical fiction they can learn many important information.

The spiral binding allows pages to turn easily, lay flat, and stay open—features that significantly increase independence for students who struggle with motor coordination or visual fatigue. Simply being able to turn pages on their own has boosted confidence, engagement, and ownership during reading activities.\r\n\r\nThese durable books also allow us to tailor visual features—color, contrast, spacing, and simplicity—to support functional vision use. These adapted books help build early reading readiness skills in ways that were not possible before.\r\n\r\nYour donation is not just a gift of materials—it is a gift of access, independence, and joy in learning.

In my district we are lucky enough to have devices for our students and many online learning tools to enhance our students' education. Headphones have allowed my students greater access to these platforms in terms of both listening and speaking. These headphones are vital tools for students as they engage in online practice and learning in math, literacy, science, and social studies. My students love getting to use their headphones to watch social studies and science videos on our curriculum platforms. They also like getting use them to listen to read alouds as we work on listening comprehension skills. And, when working on speaking, the microphones included on these headsets allow my students to speak clearly and with confidence as they work on communication skills. \r\n\r\nOverall, these headphones have, without a doubt, enhanced student learning and engagement so far this school year.
