To me as a teacher, it saves me time from researching different websites on what materials I can use to best help my SEL kids! It saves me money too as I do not need to buy these materials any more. The very generous and kind donors donated them to my class! The materials are so awesome and easy to use. They are colorful too which catch the interest of my students! \r\n The kids are interested! They love these stuff! They listen to directions. They practice their sentences when they use these materials. They tell me it's easy for them to identify their feelings using the \"Emoticons Coin Drop\"! They can go back to being focused by staring and playing with the \"Sensory Fidget Tubes\"! The \"Emotional match ups is a big hit! They enjoy talking about the situations and they love looking for the match of the cards!\r\n On the conversation cards, they learn how to communicate with others and they practice waiting for their turns.\r\n Everything helps us a lot!
