    Words can't begin to express how thankful we are for your kind donations. We have been able to begin guided reading lessons that allow us to showcase our different reading skills using the supplies that you provided! My students particularly enjoy using the highlighters to pinpoint their answers in a text. Due to your donations, we have also been able to expose the students to books across many different genres. This has widened the students knowledge to many different types of texts. I cannot wait to see what else these materials will enable my students to do.

One thing that all of the boys have in common, is their love for sports. The goal of this project, is to make the classroom somewhere that the boys look forward to coming. Many of the same aspects that are taught in sports can be used within the classroom. Many of the items being requested will be used to create a fun and engaging classroom library. The students will also use the headphones being asked for to partake in a reading intervention program called System 44! I hope to inspire all of the students by learning the importance of hard work and never giving up!
