When their space feels cared for, they feel cared for.\r\n\r\nOur other bulletin board will now proudly displaying their artwork, and the difference is incredible.

The magnets have been a great hands-on tool for creative play, and the fidgets have provided students with a helpful way to self-regulate and stay focused during learning activities.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their reactions were sheer excitement. They immediately wanted to touch and play with everything. From kindergarten to fifth grade, students expressed how special it made them feel to receive these new items, and they couldn't wait to start using them.

We now have more extrinsic rewards for students who are motivated to do better through such incentives. I also have more fidgets to provide to students who struggle to sit for longer periods of time and to stay focused. In addition, I have extra curriculum materials to help improve how I reach students with specific learning disabilities.\r\n\r\nI love being able to motivate students through positive reinforcement. Who doesn't look forward to earning something after working hard? I think most students do, even though some are satisfied with praise alone. It's nice to have options such as squishy toys, stickers, and special erasers.\r\n\r\nMany students are required to sit in one place for long periods of time. Additionally, quite a few are diagnosed with ADHD and need something in their hands or at their feet to help them focus on their learning. It could be a bounce band attached to the legs of a chair, a wiggle cushion, or a chew necklace to help with nervous habits.\r\n\r\nI would love to understand more about my students with specific learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, and the books that I received through DonorsChoose will help me become more informed. I now have a few extra curriculum support workbooks to provide reading comprehension guides along with spelling activities.\r\n\r\nI know that everything gifted to my students and our classroom will be put to good use.
