The trampoline has also been extremely helpful as some students have sensory and movement needs. The trampoline allows us to give certain students an immediate access to movement and sensory while in a safe environment. The tonies has also been helpful as we can give students access to music and stories without having the need for a screen. \r\nMy classroom is so grateful for the support to be able to get supplies for students that will help them throughout their day.
