Your kindness is already making a meaningful impact on our students and the way they experience learning each day.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our classroom is stocked with essential supplies like pencils, folders, binders, and book pouches. These tools help students stay organized, take responsibility for their materials, and focus on learning. Your donation also helps us maintain a clean and healthy environment with sanitizing wipes and tissues, ensuring students learn comfortably and safely.\r\n\r\nBeyond the basics, your support allows us to create a more inviting and calming classroom atmosphere. Soft lighting and cozy floor seating give students flexible spaces to read, collaborate, or work independently, helping them feel relaxed, supported, and inspired.\r\nThese items may seem simple, but together they create a classroom where students feel safe, confident, and ready to learn each day. We are truly grateful for your generosity and belief in our students.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping our classroom shine a little brighter.

Every day during our reading lab, they grab their books and chant, \"No walking. No talking. Just READ, READ, READ!\" This has become one of the most joyful and focused parts of our day.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my students now have access to books they love — from Dog Man and Magic Tree House to Goosebumps and Dork Diaries. I've watched even my most reluctant readers get lost in a story and ask if they can keep reading after time is up. The addition of graphic novels has been especially powerful for struggling readers, helping them build confidence and stamina through engaging pictures and shorter text.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has truly transformed our reading time. You've helped create a community of readers who see books not just as schoolwork, but as adventures waiting to begin.

It has also been great because I can use it as a differentiation tool based on what each child needs. For my students still working on digraphs, I have a chart with all of the digraphs and a picture for reference. For my students who need a 100 chart, I can put that into their binder.
