The laminator, card stock, laminating sheets, Velcro, and printer ink have allowed me to create durable, reusable visuals such as schedules, choice boards, behavior supports, and communication tools that stand up to daily use by busy preschoolers. These materials help my students understand expectations, follow routines, and communicate their needs with greater confidence and independence.\r\n\r\nWhat has been most exciting is how engaged and motivated my preschoolers are when using these visuals. They love interacting with picture cards, moving icons, and seeing their day clearly laid out in front of them. For my special education students, visual supports reduce anxiety, support transitions, and give them a consistent way to understand and participate in classroom activities. These resources have helped create a calmer, more inclusive learning environment where all my little learners—especially those with communication and sensory needs—can feel successful.

For many of them, this was the first time they had access to sensory tools that truly supported their needs. Several students immediately ran toward the trampoline and swivel chair, while others quietly explored the glowing bubble lamp or gently pressed on the colorful liquid tiles.\r\n\r\nThese resources are now part of our daily routine. Students use the trampoline and peanut ball during movement breaks to release energy in a safe and productive way. The swivel chair and bumble bee vibrating pillow provide calming input during reading or quiet time. Our sensory mats and stress balls are available for students who need a quick \"reset\" during transitions or moments of frustration. The bubble lamp has become a calming visual anchor, creating a peaceful environment where students can take a moment to breathe and refocus.\r\n\r\nThe difference has been remarkable. We've seen fewer behavioral disruptions, quicker recovery from emotional outbursts, and increased engagement in academic tasks. These tools have empowered my students to advocate for their needs and build self-regulation skills that are critical for both school and life.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, these materials will be essential for upcoming self-regulation and mindfulness activities we have planned. We'll be incorporating them into guided movement routines, self-awareness routines, and even small-group social-emotional learning lessons. Our goal is to help students not only use these tools but understand why they help—laying the foundation for lifelong coping strategies.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and supporting their growth.
