After my donation was filled, my students have their water bottles in the classroom and can access a water drink in the classroom and not miss any of my classroom instruction. The warmer weather is coming and the students are grateful to come in from recess and get a long drink from their water bottle and enjoy a snack from your donation, too.

Indoor recess has been transformed into a time where students can build social skills, practice teamwork, and simply enjoy being kids in a safe and engaging environment. Having structured, fun options has helped reduce conflicts and created a more positive classroom atmosphere.\r\n\r\nIn addition, being able to provide each student with a snack and their own set of supplies helped meet both their physical and emotional needs. For some students, a snack during the day makes a big difference in their focus and energy levels. The excitement on their faces when they received these items was unforgettable—they felt valued, supported, and cared for.

My second grade classroom works hard to build strong academic skill but also social-emotional skills. Young children are in need of learning coping skills when their emotions get the best of them. Many of my students benefit from having a safe, quiet space where they can take a break, regulate emotions, and be able to calm themselves down so they can get back to learning. My calming corner was in need of some updated items for my students. They have used the weighted sloth and pillow knot to help them calm down when they are frustrated and can't get their emotions under control. The colored pencils gives them an opportunity to color which helps them calm down, too. All my students love the sand and water frame. It is mesmerizing and relaxes my students. I was able to use the textured infinity stickers and breathe strips in their desks so they can feel them at their seat. They said the texture helps them calm down and practice their breathing techniques. I am so grateful for all the supplies for our calming corner.
