Creating this area has provided them with options and a comfortable area to work in the room. For older students, they are able to move from the table to rug and find a spot for independent work. For my younger students, this new space allows me to better incorporate play based learning, which for many of my students, is developmentally appropriate. We now have a nice open area to sit down and play with toys and work together as a group, making speech and language more enjoyable for all of us. \r\n\r\nThe wobble cushions have been a hit when working on table top activities. Many of my students require sensory input to remain regulated or have the need to move their body when working. Having the wobble cushions provides students with the opportunity to access materials that will help them to be more successful learners. \r\n\r\nMy students immediately noticed the upgrade to our room and were excited and enthusiastic about using the new space.

For many of them, Dog Man is the series that turned them from reluctant readers into avid ones. The graphic novel format and silly humor make reading feel like a treat, not a task. Having two complete sets means less time on a waiting list and more time with these wonderful stories in their hands. It's amazing to see them sharing their favorite parts and laughing together over the books.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has done more than just add to our library; it has brought so much joy and encouraged a stronger reading community at our school.
