The fidget bands and wobble feet have made a huge difference in our classroom. My students are using these resources every day to help them stay focused and engaged during lessons. For example, during our recent math workshop, students who often struggled to sit still were able to participate fully because the wobble feet allowed them to move without leaving their seats, and the fidget bands gave them a quiet way to release energy.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the excitement was incredible! Students immediately wanted to try them out, and their faces lit up when they realized these tools were just for them. One student said, \"Now I can move and still listen!\"\r\n\r\nNext steps: We're currently working on a collaborative writing project, and these tools are helping students stay focused during longer writing sessions. With improved concentration, they're producing more thoughtful and creative work. I can already see their confidence growing, and I'm excited to share their progress with you soon.\r\nThank you again for making this possible.

The snacks you provided have become an essential part of our learning environment. We use them during small group activities, as brain breaks, and to keep energy levels up during long lessons. Having these snacks available means students can stay focused and engaged without worrying about hunger.\r\n\r\nOne memorable moment was when the students first saw the snack box, they were thrilled! Their faces lit up, and many said things like, \"Wow, we have choices!\" and \"This makes school even better!\" It was a simple gesture that made them feel cared for and valued.\r\nThese snacks have also helped foster a sense of community. Students often share and talk about their favorites, which has sparked conversations and connections. It's amazing how something so small can make such a big difference in their day.\r\nNext Steps\r\nCurrently, we're working on a collaborative project that requires sustained attention and creativity. Having snacks on hand ensures students can stay energized and focused as they brainstorm and create.
