Because of your support, my second grade New Jersey classroom was able to receive items for our zen zone. This area of my classroom helps students regulate their emotions. This allows students to do their very best work in the classroom and be successful in all that they do. Because of your support, my classroom was able to receive 3D erasers that we use as Desk Pets. Student \"earn money\" throughout the week for behavior, completing tasks, etc. They save this money in a classroom wallet. Every other Friday, the desk pet shop is open for students to either adopt a pet, or shop for supplies for their pet. This teaches students financial literacy by saving money, knowing how to make change and the importance of a dollar. Thank you again for your support towards our classroom.

The wobble seats have proven to be a game-changer for our children with sensory needs and those who struggle with attention.

It is because of generous supporters like you that we are able to create a nurturing and inclusive space for every child to thrive.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your generosity and support.
