Your donation of supplies so that I had a full class sets of seatback covers, magazine holders (for folders and workbooks arranged by table), and Play Doh for hand strengthening and brain breaks is being used daily in my room. I have used the card stock to make extra sets of Capital Letters Lines and Curves puzzles so that I have enough for the larger class. The kids have been very excited as I've introduced each item this fall, and it is so nice when each child has their very own supplies to care for rather than having them take turns with communal supplies.

The fidget tools are extremely popular. In fact, we now have a routine where after breakfast, every single student who arrives to Morning Meeting on time gets to use a fidget tool for the duration of the meeting circle. This really motivates them to get to circle on time and stay focused on the tasks at hand during that initial part of the day. We also use the fidgets during brain breaks and if a student needs a rest stop to calm down.
