Cocoa and Care Cram-Chatter (the 4Cs That Glitter Like Diamonds)

Funded Sep 24, 2024

Thank you so much for donating the supplies to have our hot cocoa cram sessions. The kids loved it and we use it at least twice a month. In the first Flashcard study session, I had to use disposable cups because painting each cup and personalizing them with their names took some time at the ceramics studio (for glazing and firing), but I think they appreciated it more after using the disposable ones surprisingly. At first, they were like, "cool, it has our names on it," likely thinking it was for logistics. I loved how they were surprised and touched when I said, "you take that home with you after Latin 3 and our Regents. It's yours to keep." Even my tough 🍪 students were touched; it was adorable.

They continue to study with their flash cards as we have hot cocoa cram days, and I have noticed more of a cohesive vibe for the class as a whole. They make sure they each have some cocoa and that everyone is included. It takes a village after all.... Once again, many thanks!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Miu
