My students and I were so excited to receive the items from your donation, and we utilize the items every single day. My class was overjoyed when the first boxes of the donation started to arrive. As I began to unpack each item, they were eager to implement and use them right away. We are incredibly grateful for your generosity and the care you've shown to us through this donation.\r\n\r\nMy class uses the flexible seating options regularly, and I'm so grateful that they are high-quality and will last through this year and beyond. It's important for my students' learning preferences to be met, and you've enabled that. We use the mobile whiteboards frequently too, especially when students are collaborating on boards during math time. They also allow me to have more anchor charts up and posted around the room.\r\n\r\nThe additional lighting options help keep our classroom calm and low-stimulation. I never turn on the \"big light\" in my room, and these lamps allow for gentle lighting that keeps the environment relaxed while still providing ample light for learning and success. \r\n\r\nYour donation supplied so many more items for our classroom, as well, and I can't express how thankful my students and I are for everything.
