It is such a relief to know that my students' sensory needs are being met in the classroom, and that they do not only have access to these tools when they are in therapy sessions. Part way through the school year, the K-5 class was split into two classes (K-2 and 3-5). There was a LOT of transition for these kids this year, with shuffling of students between classes, difficulties hiring a second teacher, and a number of new faces (both staff and students). It was important that these kids have all the tools they needed to meet their regulation needs this year, and I am so glad that we were able to have the resources at the ready. \r\n\r\nLooking to next year, it will be so great to be able to hit the ground running with these materials already on-hand! I feel excited about continuing to build and work with these students and their team as the program grows.

These books are also helping our multilingual learners learn about all sorts of things like sharks and ocean animals, which is super important for doing well in school.\r\n\r\nReading at Blix is a blast! We do lots of different things to make it fun and engaging for everyone, especially our multilingual learners.\r\n\r\nBooks for everyone: We choose books that show lots of different people and places, so everyone feels seen.
