It can be difficult to supply enough materials to account for every student within the classroom, but with the added supply of stress balls, floor cushions, & sensory seats, my students have plenty of resources to use without a waiting period. This is a life saver, especially at my grade level. In Early Kindergarten, children are discovering their emotions and learning how to manage them all at the same time. It can be a challenging process for students, and having appropriate resources for them to utilize is a necessity. Having enough materials for each of them to use at any given time is such a comforting feeling for me now & for them as well!\r\nMy students & I have been so grateful to have the new materials in our classroom. The weighted monkey has been a HUGE hit. They even named her, \"Montana\", after our wonderful state. \r\nThank you so very much for your incredible generosity!
