These new additions give them a safe, calming place to reset before returning to learning.\r\nWhen the items arrived, my students were so excited to see a space created just for them. I have already seen students independently choose a bean bag or sensory tool when they begin to feel overwhelmed, calm their bodies, and then successfully transition back to reading or math. The sensory area has helped reduce meltdowns, improve transitions, and increase overall engagement during academic instruction.\r\nBecause of your generosity, I am able to intentionally teach self-regulation skills and help students build independence in identifying and meeting their sensory needs.

As a result, I've seen improved focus during reading groups, math centers, and structured learning time because students are no longer distracted by hunger.\r\nWhen the snacks first arrived, my students were excited and eager to explore the different options. For many of them, simply having access to preferred foods helped them feel safe and supported in our classroom. We have also used the snacks as positive behavior incentives, which has helped decrease challenging behaviors and reinforce communication, task completion, and positive choices.\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students are more regulated, more engaged, and better able to access their learning.
