Funded Jan 1, 2024

Thank you so much for funding my students with incredible resources to support their learning this year.

I teach students across grades K-2. In kindergarten one of their favorite activities has been to play with the alphabet mystery box. After we warm up by practicing letter sounds and names, I pull out the mystery box to have them apply listening for the first sound and matching it to the corresponding letter with real life objects. They have so much fun digging in the box for items and I am able to see if they are genuinely making that 1:1 letter- correspondence. My students beg me to play this game every week.

Additionally, the stress balls have also been a big hit with my students who have more socio-emotional needs and those who require sensory input. Some of my students are even building independence by asking to use the stress balls when they feel overwhelmed or frustrated.

These are just 2 of the ways I can share the impact these materials have had in my students, but in reality every single item has been a huge success in my classrooms. I am convinced that your donations will continue to support their academic success.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Cruz
