I have used it a few times and can say that I am also amazed. We also use the floor cushions all of the time. My students love to spread out throughout the classroom when they have individual work time.\r\n\r\nThank you for the anchor chart paper. We use this a lot when we are reading and need to create Wonder and Notice charts. These help the students see what we are learning and what other people feel about the book.

The headphones allow students to focus during lessons and independent learning on the iPads. The reading light creates a cozy environment that encourages a love for books. The calming tools—our weighted elephant, sensory stickers, owl light, and thinking putty—help students regulate their emotions, reduce stress, and refocus when they feel overwhelmed. Together, they create a calmer, more supportive space for all learners.\r\n\r\nYour generosity directly impacts my students every single day, and we are truly grateful for your support.

My students were absolutely shocked and so excited to receive new Little Spot learning materials. The characters are their absolute favorites. We use these every single day within our learning. When we received the packages I had students help me open them up and their faces lit up with excitement. These materials continue to engage students and allow them to continue to work on their social emotional skills.\r\n\r\nBefore the end of the school year we did a really fun activity with the Little Spot plush characters and had a 'play'. Students would use the characters to act out different social scenarios and used the plushies to identify the different emotions as they were acting.

Your contributions have truly made a difference in our daily routines, creating a more efficient, comfortable, and tech-friendly learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe smart controls have been a game-changer for our classroom. With just one remote, we can seamlessly turn on and off all five lights and lamps, saving time and effort at the start and end of each day. It has simplified our daily routines and made the classroom setup so much easier.\r\n\r\nThe charging station has been another fantastic addition, allowing us to charge six iPads at once. This has streamlined our use of technology, ensuring that devices are always ready for student learning activities. Coupled with the surge protector, which supports additional technology around the room, our classroom is now better equipped than ever to integrate technology into our lessons.\r\n\r\nFinally, the fan has been a huge help on warm days or when the heater has made our classroom too warm. It helps keep our classroom more comfortable for both students and staff. These small touches make a big difference in creating a productive learning environment where students can thrive.\r\n\r\nYour support has enhanced our classroom in so many ways, and we are deeply grateful.

Being able to roll next to students to provide one-on-one assistance has improved the efficiency and effectiveness of our work time. It allows me to connect with students right where they are, offering personalized support that makes a real impact on their learning experience.\r\n\r\nThe pencil holders have also been a fantastic addition.

This simple yet effective tool has made our classroom more organized and helps students stay focused on their tasks.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the privacy folders have been a wonderful resource during test time. These folders give students the space they need to concentrate, keeping their voices off and their eyes on their own work. This small change has fostered a more respectful and focused testing environment.\r\n\r\nFinally, the clear sleeves on our walls have been invaluable for displaying math posters and concepts. They keep key resources easily accessible and visible to students, serving as constant reminders of the strategies and tools they need to succeed in math.\r\n\r\nYour thoughtful donations have enhanced our classroom in so many ways, and we are truly thankful for your kindness and support.
