We have already begun using the new resources, and one of our favorite moments came during a hands-on learning center. The students used the materials to build matching sets, sort colors, and create simple patterns. Watching them work together, sharing ideas, taking turns, and proudly showing each other what they made was truly special.\r\n\r\nTheir reactions when the materials first arrived were priceless. The children's eyes lit up, and several of them gasped and said, \"Is this for US?\" They couldn't wait to explore everything, and many immediately started imagining what we could do with the new tools. It turned an ordinary day into a joyful celebration of learning.\r\n\r\nYour support has given my students opportunities to engage in meaningful, playful learning that meets them exactly where they are. Our next steps are to continue using these resources to build early math, literacy, and fine-motor skills. We're planning a class project where students will rotate through learning stations using the materials to practice counting, letter recognition, storytelling, and cooperative play. These tools will help guide us through the rest of the school year and allow each child to grow with confidence.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and making a real difference in our classroom.

These new books have helped my Pre-K students learn about kindness, inclusion, and what makes each of us special. Through colorful stories featuring different cultures, abilities, and families, students are discovering that everyone's story matters.\r\n\r\nReading time has become extra special—students light up when they see characters who look like them or share similar traditions. We've had wonderful conversations about friendship, respect, and celebrating differences. One of my shyest students now proudly shares about his culture during story time, and others love retelling their favorite stories with excitement.\r\n\r\nYour gift has done more than add books to our shelves—it's helped every child feel seen, valued, and connected.

I'm sorry this update is coming a bit later than expected—we had to wait until after our STAAR testing window to dive into our AG-STEM project. But once we got started, it was all hands on deck! We recently completed a hands-on solar system project, and it was such an exciting experience for my 3rd graders. When the new materials arrived, my students couldn't wait to explore everything! Using the supplies you helped provide, we built 3D models of the solar system and learned about the planets' positions, sizes, and orbits. His project really brought science to life and helped make complex concepts more accessible and fun.
