Speech therapy isn't a quick fix, but over time, with consistency, individuals can make remarkable strides.

Thanks to you all, now I don't have to say: well you can talk to a friend instead of eating. Would you like pretzels, water, fruit snacks, or applesauce? That's my new reply. The best part is to see their faces light up. \r\nHaving a choice is empowering, and not being hungry is delightful. \r\n\r\nOur bodies need energy to work and although it's not a meal, a light snack goes a long way to a hungry 4 or 5 year old. We are grateful you contributed and continue to help fuel little minds. The mini water bottles are also a great choice, and they prefer water. Just so you know, I do offer fruit snacks last!

They were shocked and excited to find out a stranger to them, chose to be so generous.

Having enough supplies for each student to be actively participating is a huge win. \r\n\r\nTen grams with magnetic counters have proven to be a gateway to problem solving and precision. In addition the variety of math tools allows for multiple paths to modeling and explaining solutions.

The translucent letters are more than just tools—they're bridges to communication. My students are drawn to the vibrant colors and textures, and they've begun using the letters to make choices, express interests, and even identify their names. For children who struggle to speak, this is an empowering step toward connection and expression.\r\n\r\nIt's been truly moving to watch students who were once hesitant engage more confidently with materials and with each other.

The rug has created a cozy, collaborative space where students can sit together and engage in various activities. They're now more eager to participate in discussions, and I can monitor their engagement and understanding more closely. It's amazing to see how this new area fosters communication and allows students to share their ideas in a comfortable setting.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new rug and easel, their excitement was contagious. They immediately ran to claim their spots, excited to have a designated space where they could learn and collaborate. The rug has not only given them a break from sitting at their desks all day but has also become a central hub for phonics instruction. Using this space, we can now conduct hands-on activities and group discussions that truly capture the students' attention. The easel is also a wonderful addition, allowing me to display visuals, interactive phonics exercises, and key information in a way that caters to all learning styles.\r\n\r\nLooking forward, we will continue to use these resources as part of our ongoing phonics lessons. The new space has already created a more dynamic and engaging environment, and I'm confident it will help my students develop stronger reading skills and work more collaboratively.
