Because of you, my speech therapy office now has a beautiful new book collection and flexible seating options that are already making such a positive difference for my students.\r\n\r\nThe books you helped provide are opening doors for storytelling, language exploration, and meaningful conversation. My students—especially those who need extra support with engagement and comprehension—are lighting up when they see new stories on the shelf. It's incredible to watch their curiosity and confidence grow.\r\n\r\nThe flexible seating has also transformed our space. My students now have the freedom to choose where they feel most comfortable learning—whether that's on a wobble stool, a floor cushion, or a cozy nook with a book. This added comfort and autonomy is helping them stay focused, motivated, and excited for speech sessions.\r\n\r\nYour kindness is not only enhancing their learning, but also helping create a warm and welcoming environment where every child feels supported. I am truly grateful for your generosity and belief in the work we do.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and helping them thrive.

In our dual language program, our goal is to develop biliterate students, children who can read, write, and think in both English and Spanish. These new books have given my students valuable opportunities to practice reading comprehension, build vocabulary, and strengthen their fluency in English while continuing to honor and support their Spanish language skills.\r\n\r\nReading time has become one of the most joyful parts of our day. Students eagerly choose their English books, reading aloud to partners or quietly sounding out new words on their own. I often see pairs of students helping each other translate or discuss what's happening in the story, naturally blending both languages as they learn together. Many of my students show excitement while reading and their confidence is definitely shinning.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped create a classroom where reading truly connects two languages and cultures.

My students couldn't wait to try them out. You could see the smiles and hear the laughter as they discovered how these special chairs allowed them to move, balance, and focus all at the same time. For many of my students, especially those who struggle to sit still or need extra sensory input, these chairs have been a game changer.\r\n\r\nSince incorporating flexible seating, I've noticed a remarkable difference in student focus and engagement during lessons. The wobble chairs allow my students to quietly release energy without disrupting their learning or others around them. I've seen students who used to fidget constantly now able to stay on task longer and participate more confidently in discussions and small group work. The movement helps them regulate their bodies and minds, turning what used to be distractions into purposeful, productive energy.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generous support, my classroom has become a more inclusive and comfortable learning environment.
