They not only encourage empathy and emotional intelligence but also help students develop essential social skills. The lessons within these books resonate deeply with the students, and they're able to apply what they've learned to their own lives, helping them navigate real-world situations and build healthier, more meaningful relationships with others.\r\nIn addition to the books, the fidget tools and sensory items have made a remarkable difference in the Calming Corner.

The alphabet sound tubs, chip magnets, books, pipe cleaners, and number poppets with numbers 1-10 and more have made a huge difference in how my students are learning and engaging with the material. These resources have been incredible for both small group and whole group instruction, providing hands-on opportunities that make learning so much more exciting and accessible.\r\n\r\nOne of the most impactful moments was when we used the alphabet sound tubs during our phonics lessons. Each student was able to physically interact with the letter sounds by pulling out objects from the tubs that corresponded to each letter. This not only helped reinforce the connection between sounds and letters but also allowed the students to visualize and touch the items, which is so beneficial for their learning. My students were so excited when they first saw the materials—many of them immediately wanted to explore and experiment with the new items. Their faces lit up, and it was clear that these hands-on tools were sparking a deeper curiosity in them!\r\n\r\nIn addition, the chip magnets have been fantastic for helping my students with basic math concepts. We used them to demonstrate simple addition and subtraction problems, and the students were able to physically move the chips to solve problems, which made abstract concepts much easier to grasp. The number poppets have been an absolute favorite—students love to pop them while practicing counting and number recognition. The playful nature of these tools makes learning more engaging and enjoyable.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are continuing to use these materials as we work on building more complex skills. In our current math lesson, we are beginning to work on combining numbers, and the pipe cleaners have been a fun way to create visual representations of addition. The next steps for my students involve applying these hands-on resources in collaborative activities, where they will practice problem-solving and teamwork.\r\n\r\nYour contributions have not only provided resources that make learning more effective, but also created an environment where my students are excited to come to class each day.
