I just wanted to once again reach out to you to tell you how truly grateful I am to have received the donations that I could use to put toward the sensory items for my special education classroom. From the moment the items came in the kids lit up and have enjoyed using them every single day. The weighted blankets and weighted animal have been a blessing during circle time and independent work stations. The sensory blocks are across my classroom and everytime someone walks in or out of my classroom they hopskotch across the mats. They love how the gel in the tiles move as their feet tough it. The sensory circles make a great addition to my sensory wall, and the kids love using the fidgets whenever they need to keep their hands busy. \r\n\r\nIt is people like you that help in rough days. These kiddos are so appreciative of these tools and I know they will be treasured for years to come. Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart.
