All of the games and books you provided were used to support hands-on learning, language development, and social skills practice for my students.\r\n\r\nThe interactive games, Rattlesnake Jake, Pass the Potato, Honey Bee Tree, Shark Bite, the B.Duck Catch Game, and Crocodile Dentist, were used to teach turn-taking, following directions, teamwork, and emotional regulation. My students were highly engaged, and these activities helped them practice communication and problem-solving in a fun and meaningful way.\r\n\r\nThe miniature musical instrument set was used during pretend-play and sensory stations, allowing students to explore music, strengthen fine-motor skills, and express creativity.\r\n\r\nThe holiday board books including Santa's Workshop, The Itsy Bitsy Snowman, Baby Touch and Feel Merry Christmas, and Five Silly Turkeys, were read during small groups. They supported vocabulary growth, seasonal discussions, and early literacy skills. The students loved the colorful pictures and repetitive language.\r\n\r\nYour donation truly made a difference.

Your contribution has made a real difference for the children we serve each day.\r\n\r\nThe donated undergarments were used to support students who came to the nurse room in need of clean, comfortable clothing. Many children required a change of clothes during the school day due to accidents, spills, or health-related needs, and your donation allowed us to provide them with dignity and comfort right away. Having these items on hand ensured that students could quickly return to class feeling clean, confident, and cared for.\r\n\r\nYour kindness and generosity truly helped us create a supportive and welcoming environment for our students.

The Fun Strokes Pre-writing Magnet Set and the accompanying Fun Strokes book allowed me to implement a structured pre-writing program that engaged my students and strengthened their fine motor and handwriting skills. Students were able to practice tracing, letter formation, and stroke patterns in a hands-on and interactive way, which supported their overall writing development and confidence.\r\n\r\nThe brushes were a great tool for addressing sensory needs. I used the brushes as part of the Wilbarger brushing protocol, which helped students with sensory processing challenges regulate their responses and focus better during learning activities. Incorporating this sensory intervention positively impacted students' engagement, behavior, and participation in classroom routines.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the Tools to Grow membership provided access to resources and materials that supported differentiated instruction and individualized learning. I was able to use the membership to find targeted activities and strategies that met the unique needs of each student, further enhancing their academic growth and success.\r\n\r\nOverall, these items enriched my classroom environment. They allowed me to provide students with meaningful, hands-on learning experiences while addressing both academic and sensory needs.
