My students love these resources and they keep them engaged, interested, and learning during independent work time. This enables me to pull small groups to work on specific needs for each group in order to help them make progress in reading.\r\n\r\nThese phonics games and materials are fun and provide essential practice of concepts I've already taught so that the students can strengthen their skills to build fluency in reading.\r\n\r\nIt means a lot to us that people out the world, who we don't even know, are helping make our little corner of the world a better place.

About a month into the school year I was switched to a different position, however, all the materials were and still are being put to good use! I have 13 students- and growing- and we use many of the materials daily. The kids love using the colorful pens when practicing writing, and we use whiteboard markers and erasers everyday! The large Post It pads are perfect for displaying rules, groups, and anchor charts. I am still able to organize and label everything for IEPs and paperwork, as well binders and classwork. The new games allow the students to practice social skills and academics at the same time.

Every Friday we have buddies and on some days we have playtime and even our fourth graders love to be in there too.

We are deeply appreciative! Your donations make a big difference in the lives of my students.\r\n\r\nThe Velcro tape is an incredibly helpful tool for teaching and maintaining personal space, especially in group settings. It gives students clear, visual boundaries, and helps them feel more secure and in control of their surroundings.\r\n\r\nDuring our \"Quiet Rest Time\" after lunch recess and any other time during the day when they need to take a moment and calm their bodies, my students use the weighted blankets you donated to regulate and calm their nervous systems. They have been a game-changer for students who need extra support in self-regulation. They provide calming pressure and comfort, allowing students to refocus, reset, and engage in learning more effectively.\r\n\r\nIn addition, my students absolutely love the building toys! The \"Zoobs\", as they call them, are a fun and engaging way to practice fine motor skills, creativity, and sharing. It's been wonderful watching my students collaborate, take turns, and build imaginative creations.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has created a more supportive, inclusive, and engaging learning environment.
