It is great to have things that require kids to think outside the box and use their imaginations.\r\n\r\nWhen we opened the boxes with the new materials, the kids were over the moon!

My students were so excited when they first saw the new materials. Their eyes lit up, and many of them couldn't wait to try them out.

These targeted learning times require a lot of focus, and the ability to move while working has helped many of my students stay more engaged. One moment that stood out was during a particularly challenging reading activity—one of my more restless students stayed focused the entire time while using a wobble stool. It was the first time I saw them complete the task without needing multiple redirections.\r\n\r\n Your donation has done more than provide classroom tools—it's created a more inclusive, supportive space where all students can thrive.
