Our students were absolutely thrilled when the boxes arrived—they gathered around excitedly and admired each item as it was unboxed. Your gifts instantly brought joy and curiosity into our room.\r\n\r\nThe flexible seating options have already made a meaningful difference. The blue yoga balls with feet are a class favorite; students love how comfortable they are, and I love that they don't roll away! The blue rockable chairs have also provided wonderful support, allowing students to focus while enjoying the gentle movement they offer. We are also grateful for the squishy ball and metal fidget, which have quickly become essential tools for helping students manage emotional dysregulation and build on the calming strategies we already use.\r\n\r\nWhile we haven't had the chance to read many of the new books yet, we are eagerly looking forward to using them during our upcoming unit on frogs and informational writing. Your contributions will continue to support learning, comfort, and emotional wellbeing in our classroom—not only this year, but for years to come.

Your thoughtful contributions are already making a big impact.\r\n\r\nThe new storage bins are helping us keep everything organized in the very limited space we've been given.

It will be used as a special wintertime treat for our VIP Recess winners. While the kids enjoyed popsicles during the fall, they'll now be able to earn hot cocoa with all the fixings during the colder months. Thanks to your support, students will get to access their earned rewards directly from our new storage system, making the experience even more special and exciting. Now all the beads for the beading center will be all centered and not all over the floor and places The kids were so excited the first time I brought out the bins that had everything sorted and organized so that all they had to do was pick a bin and enjoy their VIP recess experience. \r\n\r\nYour generosity helps us create meaningful moments for our students and gives them something to look forward to as a reward for their positive behavior.
