The flexible seating options for the project, Cush For Our Tush, made it possible for my students to access their environment from a variety of positions with stability and comfort so they can focus on learning. \r\nSome of the students in my class have a difficult time sitting in a standard, regular chair so I wanted to offer a variety of seating options to accommodate their special needs and unique characteristics. The Yes4All Extra Large Foam Balance Pads provided extra cushion support for their sensitive knees and bottoms while sitting on the floor to play. The Bouncy Band Wiggle Seat supported students who wanted to be closer to the ground but also felt the urge to wiggle on the floor which helped maintain their focus. The Lakeshore Classic Birch Transition Chairs have supportive sides, an arm rest, and adjustable safety belt which provides a more secure feeling and matches our existing chair set.\r\nMy intention for this project was to provide a variety of flexible seating options in our classroom environment for my students to be comfortable and meet their unique needs. This project met and exceeded my expectations. My students have the opportunity to choose their supportive seat and be comfortable while they learn. Most of all, thanks for providing us with classroom materials that will help my students for many years to come.

The Ez Pz Mini Cup + Straw Training System made with 100% Silicone Training Cups are non-slip and helped my students drink safely and effectively. The Nuby No-Spill Sippy Cup with Flex Straw made it easy for my students to grip as they are specifically tailored for little toddler hands which meant less spilling. The ergonomic designs of all of the drinkware promoted independent drinking. Additionally, all of the cups reduced our use of single-use, disposable cups that we used on a daily basis and supported student independence with self-care skills. \r\nMy intention for this project was to provide opportunities for my students to gain independence while doing our part in making the earth a better place. This project met and exceeded my expectations. My students are gaining independence with their self-care while reducing waste.

The materials from the project, Let There Be Light, have helped me provide opportunities to foster my students' creativity and encouraged open-ended and imaginative play.\r\n\r\nYoung children learn through play and having access to a light table and colorful translucent manipulative materials has sparked my students' creative minds and fostered a beginning love for learning about science. The Kaplan Early Learning Toddler Light Table is the perfect size for the toddlers in my class. The MAGNA-TILES Dino World XL 50-Piece Magnetic Construction Set, Constructive Playthings Translucent Color Building Blocks, and Constructive Playthings Color Mixing Wooden Blocks provided an opportunity for my students to explore pre-academic concepts such as shapes, size, and color identification. \r\n\r\nMy intention for this project was to bring fun, colorful, science-related materials into the classroom environment.

The materials from the project, I See Me, helped me create a space where my students could see toys and materials that reflected their cultures and diverse backgrounds. \r\nThe Lakeshore Multi-Ethnic School Doll Set established a solid base of dolls that are multi-ethnic and promote diversity. The Miniland Dolls with special needs such as Down Syndrome and hearing aids provided opportunities for the students in my class to engage in pretend play with dolls that feel and look just like them. The Lakeshore Adaptive Equipment for Dolls with Special Needs Set with hearing aids, glasses, a wheelchair, and a walker helped my students to better understand themselves and others who use adaptive aids. The Lakeshore Let'sTalk Multicultural Puppets helped my students explore different cultures while using their imaginations to practice their play and social skills. The Kaplan Early Learning Puppet Stand is the perfect storage solution which puts the puppets on display, as well as being easily accessible. \r\nMy intention for this project was to bring inclusive dolls, puppets, and supportive adaptive aid materials into the classroom environment.
