Mrs.Nora’s Literacy, Hunger, and Hygiene Initiative

Funded Sep 26, 2024

I hope this message finds you well! I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous support of our classroom project focused on literacy and hygiene. Thanks to your kindness, my students and I now have access to resources that are truly making a difference in our learning environment.

When the materials arrived, my students were absolutely thrilled. Their eyes lit up as we unboxed books that cater to various reading levels and interests, alongside hygiene kits that include essentials for our girls. The excitement was palpable, and their gratitude was evident in their smiles and laughter as they explored the new items.

One moment that stands out is when we launched a mini "Reading and Responsibility" project. Each student selected a book from our new collection, and after reading, they created a "Literacy & Life" journal entry. These journals include reflections on the stories they've read and a personal action plan for staying healthy, inspired by our hygiene lessons. This project has not only improved their reading comprehension but also instilled valuable life skills.

The next steps for my students involve deepening their engagement with both literacy and self-care. We are planning a class book club where students will discuss their readings in small groups, enhancing their critical thinking and communication skills. Additionally, we'll use the hygiene products to implement a "Healthy Habits" challenge, encouraging students to practice daily hygiene routines and track their progress.

Your support has created a ripple effect of positivity in our classroom. Thank you for helping my students grow as readers and individuals. You've given them tools to succeed academically and personally, and we are all so grateful for your investment in their future.”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Troche
