For many of them, this was the first time they had access to sensory tools that truly supported their needs. Several students immediately ran toward the trampoline and swivel chair, while others quietly explored the glowing bubble lamp or gently pressed on the colorful liquid tiles.\r\n\r\nThese resources are now part of our daily routine. Students use the trampoline and peanut ball during movement breaks to release energy in a safe and productive way. The swivel chair and bumble bee vibrating pillow provide calming input during reading or quiet time. Our sensory mats and stress balls are available for students who need a quick \"reset\" during transitions or moments of frustration. The bubble lamp has become a calming visual anchor, creating a peaceful environment where students can take a moment to breathe and refocus.\r\n\r\nThe difference has been remarkable. We've seen fewer behavioral disruptions, quicker recovery from emotional outbursts, and increased engagement in academic tasks. These tools have empowered my students to advocate for their needs and build self-regulation skills that are critical for both school and life.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, these materials will be essential for upcoming self-regulation and mindfulness activities we have planned. We'll be incorporating them into guided movement routines, self-awareness routines, and even small-group social-emotional learning lessons. Our goal is to help students not only use these tools but understand why they help—laying the foundation for lifelong coping strategies.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and supporting their growth.
