My students are an awesome group of kids who are always eager to explore and grow, and this technology has opened new doors for them.\r\n\r\nThe learning monitor allows me to bring visuals, videos, and interactive lessons right to my students in a clear and engaging way. It helps them better understand new concepts and keeps their attention during instruction. Whether we're reviewing math problems, reading passages together, or exploring science videos, the monitor makes every lesson come alive.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most is seeing their learning displayed in real time. They love when we use the monitor for group activities or interactive lessons—they're always asking, \"Can we use the big screen today?\" It has made learning feel more like a shared experience instead of just sitting and listening.\r\n\r\nOne student in particular, who used to struggle to stay focused, has really warmed to this new technology.

The Explore & Play Activity Rattles, Winkel™ and Skwish Set, and Sound and Sort Stackers supported early fine motor development and sensory processing. Students who previously struggled with focus or tactile input responded positively to the calming textures of the Kinetic Sensory Sand and Speedy Snow, which became essential tools during transitions and sensory breaks.\r\n\r\nThe interactive toys, such as the Learn-N-Play Busy Box and Jack in the Box, sparked curiosity and helped students build anticipation and social engagement through play. Fidgets, like the Dimpl and Gyrobi sets, offered consistent sensory support that aided self-regulation and reduced anxiety. The Grippies Stackers and sensory fish sets encouraged problem-solving and early STEM learning while reinforcing cooperative play. Overall, these materials enriched the classroom environment and gave each student a chance to learn in a way that matched their individual needs.
