The erasers have been amazing to use with our long division unit. We make a lot of mistakes and thankfully we all have new pencils because we were plum out. The stylus were a HUGE hit. We haven't had these before and they came in handy during our last two weeks of state testing on our iPads. \r\n\r\nYour support doesn't just provide materials—it sends a powerful message to my students: You matter.

Any time someone has any sort of feels whether they are upset, stressed, or just need a break to calm down. They take them do a quiet spot in the room and use them! \r\n When they first saw the materials, they were so excited. In fact, everyone wanted the new wobble stool. One student who has lots of behavior challenges, often will take the calming dog light and sit under a table and just use the breathing exercises and light to calm herself down.
