We Need Privacy
Funded Apr 7, 2025Thanks to your incredible support, our classroom now feels more organized, productive, and exciting! When the new materials — privacy folders, sharpeners, pencils, and erasers — arrived, the students were beyond thrilled. Their eyes widened, and you could hear the buzz of excitement as they realized these tools were just for them.
We immediately put the materials to use. Each student decorated their privacy folder, turning it into a personal space where they can focus during independent reading and writing time. Having their own folders has helped many students stay more engaged and confident, especially during tasks that require concentration. One memorable moment was seeing a student who usually feels overwhelmed during writing assignments proudly work through an entire story draft without distractions — all thanks to the comfort and focus the folder provided.
The sharpeners, pencils, and erasers have also made a huge difference. No more lost learning time asking for sharpened pencils or searching for an eraser! Students feel more responsible and prepared, which has made transitions between activities smoother and quicker.
As we move forward, we are diving deeper into independent writing projects where students will draft, revise, and publish their own short stories. The privacy folders will continue to help students focus, while the sharpeners, pencils, and erasers make it easy for them to work independently and take pride in their creations.
Thank you for giving our classroom the tools to build confidence, independence, and a love for learning. Your generosity has truly made a difference!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Galindo
