It's amazing to see how much more they can achieve when they aren't distracted by hunger.\r\n\r\nThe excitement in the room when it's time to visit the treasure box really warms my heart!

My 2nd graders were absolutely ecstatic when the boxes of prizes and toys arrived. It was the perfect spark of excitement to kick off our hands-on economics unit. Seeing their genuine joy reminded me how a few simple resources can completely shift the energy of a classroom.\r\n\r\nWe have wasted no time putting these materials to use during our Money Missions. Just this week, I watched a student carefully count out a combination of dimes and nickels to purchase a small glider plane. He paused, realized he was five cents short, and worked through the mental math to figure out which coin he needed next. These aren't just toys to them; they are goals that make the abstract concept of currency feel tangible and rewarding. \r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our next step is to introduce the concept of earning and interest. This project has truly transformed our math block into a real-world laboratory where my students are becoming savvy little economists.

This morning routine of mindfulness helps my students center themselves and prepare their minds for the day ahead. It has become a favorite time for everyone to breathe and find their focus.\r\n\r\nA Clean and Inviting Space\r\nThe cleaning supplies, soap, and sponges are keeping our classroom sparkling clean. My students are learning responsibility by helping tidy up, and it makes our room a healthier place to be. Plus, the door and bulletin board decorations have made our classroom so inviting! The students were so excited to walk through a door that felt bright, cheerful, and welcoming.\r\n\r\nSensory and Motor Growth\r\nThe Play-Doh has been a wonderful tool for sensory play and developing fine motor skills. For my students with autism, the fidget toys and sensory tools have been life-changing. These items help them regulate their energy and stay engaged with our lessons.\r\n\r\nYou have truly helped create a \"home away from home\" for these kids.

It has been so wonderful to print photos, create classroom charts and news letters for students and parents. First of all the students LOVE, and I mean absolutely love looking at pictures of themselves and their friends. I pass out their photos and we use their photos as a talking point. We are able to talk about things we did, what we saw and who we were with. We also get to have conversations about emotions, and reflect a little about things we would have done differently. The conversations created from these photos have to be my favorite thing that has happened. Secondly colored charts and newsletters for students and parents really help to convey understanding.

When the books arrived, my students were super excited—they sat down to explore the pictures, point to familiar objects, and asked to take them home. We let our students choose a book every morning, and send them home so students can practice reading with their families, to build confidence and joy around books.\r\n\r\nOur take-home readers have already made a meaningful difference. Students are becoming more engaged during story time, recognizing pictures and repeating familiar words and phrases. Families make reading a priority by sitting down to read with their keiki, and this is the first time our little ones have had the opportunity to select their very own book to read and enjoy outside of school.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is helping us build strong early reading habits and important family time that will last beyond the school year.

The character are all about the same ages as my students so they are going through the same phases of life. They have the same problems at school with children talking and being disruptive.
