Your contributions have made a meaningful difference in the daily lives of my kindergarten and first grade students in our self-contained setting.\r\n\r\nEach item you helped fund is being used with purpose and care:\r\n\r\n🪑 The chairback seat sacks have transformed our organization. Students now take responsibility for their personal workbooks and materials, which fosters independence and pride in their learning space.\r\n\r\n✏️ The electric pencil sharpener is a classroom favorite! It works with both standard and colored pencils, and our \"Leader of the Day\" uses it to help peers sharpen safely and build their confidence and classroom community.\r\n\r\n🎁 The bulk fidget toys are used as reinforcers in our treasure box system. These rewards motivate students and support positive behavior, especially for those working hard to meet sensory and social-emotional goals.\r\n\r\n⏲️ The visual timer is a powerful tool for students who struggle with transitions. It helps them anticipate changes and manage their emotions with greater ease.\r\n\r\n🧼 Hand sanitizer, paper towels, and Clorox spray are used daily to keep our classroom clean and safe. We sanitize tables multiple times a day, and students are learning the importance of hygiene and responsibility.\r\n\r\n🤧 The facial tissues have been especially helpful during this seasonal shift.
