Your support made it possible for me to bring more flexible seating options into the classroom—specifically, six new balance balls!\r\n\r\nMy students love the opportunity to use the balance balls as seats. They're just the right size for my little kinders, fitting perfectly under our tables while still giving them enough room to move their legs. During independent work time, I often glance around and see little bodies gently bouncing as they stay focused—it's both adorable and effective!\r\n\r\nThe balance balls have quickly become a classroom favorite. Each morning, students eagerly check to see who will earn the chance to use one. It's become a wonderful incentive that motivates them to do their best.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you so much for supporting our classroom.

They often toppled over, causing distractions and frustration. Instead of focusing on their tests, students spent time trying to keep the folders upright. We also didn't have any calming strips available to help students manage testing anxiety.\r\n\r\nNow, thanks to your donation, testing has become something my students actually look forward to! They love getting to choose from the new black privacy folders decorated with bright pictures and positive, encouraging words. Each one fits perfectly on their table without falling, and it doesn't take up too much space. Best of all, every student gets their own!\r\n\r\nThe calming strips have been a huge hit as well. My students love the textured feel beneath their fingers and find them especially helpful during tests. They use them to calm their nerves, and some even like to touch them throughout the entire testing period. The positive words printed on them are another uplifting touch that the kids enjoy seeing and reading.\r\n\r\nI'm incredibly grateful for your kindness and generosity.
