For example, during a recent sensory activity, students could explore materials freely knowing they could clean their hands safely afterward, which encouraged participation and curiosity.\r\n\r\nThe students' reactions when they first saw the new resources were priceless. They were excited and curious, eager to try the wipes and hand sanitizer themselves.

Seeing their enthusiasm reminded me just how much small resources can make a big impact on learning and emotional well-being.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are excited to continue supporting their growth with these supplies. Students will use the snacks during guided learning activities to reinforce focus and reward participation, while wipes and sanitizer keep our classroom safe and accessible for everyone.
