With your help, we were able to provide students with more diverse reading materials (at their level) and access to classroom materials that continue to aid in their development and learning.\r\n\r\nMy students absolutely love exploring the new books in the library! The introduction of more emergent reader materials has allowed them to make progress towards becoming excellent readers. I have watched a love of reading sprout among many students at that level. My student's parents and I have seen the impact these materials have had. \r\n\r\nThe general classroom materials (technology wipes, whiteboard markers, digital clock, organizational materials, clipboard) allowed the students to practice everyday life skills within the classroom setting. Some of these materials also brought about more easily defined places to find materials during our reading centers and allowed for more activities where students are moving about the classroom. \r\n\r\nThe SEL materials have had an impact on how many students view each other and the world around them. In class, I have seen an increase in appropriate verbal communication usage to resolve conflict. Students are also more aware of their own impact within a community. Other educators are also seeing changes in my students' behavior. \r\n\r\nWe are so thankful for the great opportunities, lessons, and materials that you provided to our classroom.

We have utilized it for interactive sorting activities and busy books for students to use independently as well as during guided instruction.
