They are already engaging with the materials during therapy sessions, building fine motor skills, attention, and confidence through play-based learning.

I have made small group items and also things I use whole group that I would have to print previously at home. It is so nice! My students have enjoyed seeing the color pictures, especially during small group times. (I previously used black and white photos.)\r\n As far as the wipes, I have definitely appreciated those as well. I use them every Friday to clean my flat surfaces.

Many of them eagerly picked out their folders, thrilled to have a tool to keep their work organized. The fidget stickers have been an absolute game-changer for my students who need a little extra sensory support—helping them focus and stay engaged during lessons. One student in particular, who often struggles with restlessness, shared that the fidget sticker has helped them feel more at ease during independent work time. \r\n\r\nWe have already started using the laminated materials to create durable learning resources, such as reusable writing prompts and interactive math games. Thanks to your generosity, my students now have access to tools that not only support their learning but also help build independence and confidence in their abilities. \r\n\r\nLooking ahead, these resources will continue to play a crucial role in our daily routines. The folders will help students develop strong organizational habits, the fidget stickers will provide a much-needed outlet for focus, and the laminated materials will allow us to create lasting, hands-on learning tools for years to come. \r\n\r\nYour kindness has made a world of difference in our classroom, and I am beyond grateful for your support.
