Having access to a quick, healthy snack helps prevent frustration and allows them to return to learning with a clear mind.\r\nThe small fidgets have been an incredible tool for motivation and self-regulation. Students use them as incentives to work toward positive behaviors and as a calming object to hold during lessons. These simple items have helped reduce anxiety and increase engagement, making it easier for students to stay on task.\r\nCalm-down tools have provided a structured way for students to manage big feelings and get back on track. Instead of escalating, they now have a safe outlet to reset and rejoin the group. Your contribution has made a real difference in creating a nurturing environment where every child feels valued and successful.
