My students are so lucky to have supporters like you.\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned in my request, it is my goal to provide a space for my students that meet their learning needs, even their working space needs. The stools and seat cushions have really helped my students who are wiggly to get move as they need. \r\n\r\nAll of my students were so excited to try the stools. They were a big hit!\r\n\r\nMy assistant and I are busy in the process of sorting our nonfiction collection into a more readily accessible space using the book bins your generous gift provided.

My students are so lucky to have supporters like you.\r\nAs I mentioned in my request, my students are varied and come to my library with a multitude of daily experiences. Some of my students easily become overwhelmed by noise or transitions. Some of my student come to my library not having had a reliable place to sleep the night before. Some of my students are well fed and happy. But they all come to the library expecting and deserving to have their needs met and knowing that they are welcome and loved.\r\nThe sensory aids that your gift has provided has allowed my students to better interact in the library space as they need. The vibrating pillow helped an autistic student self-regulate and stopped a normally aggressive response from occurring. The linked blocks and tactile boards give my students a mental break from curricular demands. And the wooden puzzles helps a nonverbal student communicate.\r\nThis project has been a wonderful addition to my library.

This, along with the pencils, helps us grow our fine motor skills early in the school year. \r\nAll of these materials - from colorful headphones to perfectly sized pencils and laminating pouches- are things we use every single day in kindergarten!
