They were so excited to see the new games, books, and toys and could not wait to start using them in speech therapy. My speech-language students have especially enjoyed using the books to practice recalling details from oral information and retelling stories. Other students have loved using the magnetic tiles while practicing following directions and understanding basic concepts.\r\n\r\nThe games have been a huge hit! Plinko has been an especially motivating activity for students to look forward to after working hard on their communication goals. Super Mario Jenga and Giant Snakes and Ladders have quickly become favorites during activity time, and Bluey Candy Land has made a classic game feel new and exciting again. We are also very appreciative of the cooperative games because they are so much fun and give every student the chance to win after working together during speech therapy. The additions to the prize box as well as new fidgets for busy hands were also very much appreciated. \r\n\r\nWe are incredibly grateful for your kindness and generosity. These materials have brought so much excitement to our speech-language room while giving my students meaningful and engaging ways to practice their communication skills. We also truly appreciate the encouraging notes you include with your donations.
