The students are striving since introducing new sensory items for self-regulation and learning. The sit and spin has made the most difference for self-regulation. The students take turns spinning on it and are then able to sit an attend for longer amounts of time. This has decreased disruptive behaviors, increased learning, and opportunities for communication.

Thanks to your immediate and kind support, our DonorChoose project for healthy snacks is complete, and the resources you provided are transforming how my students approach their busy day.\r\nThe nut-free snacks you helped us receive—the crackers, Goldfish, and pretzels—have been put to use immediately, turning moments of hunger-induced distraction into periods of focused, happy learning.\r\n\r\nWe now have a designated \"Snack Time\" in the afternoon. Before implementing snack time we often saw several students becoming restless, irritable, or losing focus because they were hungry. Now, after they enjoy a quick, healthy snack, their concentration level has visibly increased. Instead of managing hunger-related behaviors, we are spending more time teaching, and they are spending more time learning and collaborating in their centers.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for investing directly in my students' ability to thrive. Your donation ensures that hunger never stands in the way of a kindergartner's bright, curious mind.

She is still learning a lot of English vocabulary and visuals support her in this process. Having a color printer allows me to show her full, detailed pictures instead of grainy black and gray images. This not only gives her a clearer understanding of the word, but is also more engaging.
