The lamination sleeves have allowed me to create durable, individualized visuals to support my students' communication and speech goals. These visuals have become an essential part of our daily routines, helping each student express themselves and participate more confidently in lessons and conversations.\r\n\r\nMy students were so excited when they saw all the new materials! The Go-Go Squeeze snacks have been especially appreciated—no one has to miss snack time now, which makes everyone feel included and cared for. The new bulletin borders helped me design a calming corner where we focus on social-emotional learning. My students love spending time there looking through The Pigeon Has Feelings book and practicing coping strategies. It has quickly become one of their favorite parts of the classroom.\r\n\r\nEvery day, we also use the disinfectant wipes to keep our space clean and healthy, and the ABC box has been a huge hit during small group time. The students' faces light up when we bring it out—they get so excited to explore letters and sounds in a hands-on way. These resources have truly helped build a more supportive, engaging, and joyful learning environment for all my students.
