When my students first walked into the Learning Center and saw the new wobble cushions, chair bands, and colorful magazine holders, their faces lit up with curiosity and joy. One student immediately sat on a wobble cushion and said, \"This helps me focus!\" These flexible seating tools have already made a big difference for my students with sensory needs, giving them safe ways to move and self-regulate so they can stay engaged during lessons.\r\n\r\nWe're also using the composition notebooks and file folders to help each student build their own space for learning. This sense of ownership has encouraged them to keep track of their work and stay organized. The prize items like sequin keychains, glow sticks, and multicolor pens have become part of our positive reinforcement system—they're so excited to work toward earning them! Even our new clipboards and dry-erase erasers help with small-group work and independent activities. Next, we'll be launching writing journals and goal-setting folders to support academic and social-emotional learning, all made easier with these new supplies.\r\n\r\nYour generosity didn't just buy materials—it created a welcoming, well-organized space where my students feel valued and ready to learn.
