Students have been utilizing the new rocking chair daily to relax and work on their coursework. They have also been engaged with all of the new activity books. These books allow students to work together on fun activities when they don't have missing assignments. It aids in their mental health to have fun discussions about the clues in the murder mysteries and crossword puzzles. Cellphones are a huge issue in our district, and I'm hoping our superintendent will choose to ban them next year. Because of your donations, I now have activities that will help students interact with their peers and enjoy being at school even more.\r\n\r\nStudents are also utilizing the new fidgets that are much more durable than others we've had. My students with ADHD like using them daily to relax and focus on their work. Students also like to get their \"zen\" on when working on the 1,000 piece puzzle you donated. I would much rather see students having fun conversations with each other instead of being on their phones.
