They were so excited to see all the new recess equipment to use outside for recess! I asked the PE teacher to inflate the balls for my class for me. When I got them back a couple of days later, my class could not wait to use them! I had students playing soccer, basketball, and jump rope. They have done well playing together and enjoying the new recess equipment! \r\n Then, the students that needed the fidgets to help them stay calm in class have been able to use them. They have been able to switch them out when they need to have something different that meets their needs. It is nice to have a much larger variety since I have much bigger number of students who meet this criteria this year. My autistic students have really found a niche with these sensory items, and it has really helped them to focus on their work in class. \r\n Our next steps in class will be to continue to staying focused on growing our learning and making a positive impact on others! I strive to teach that to my students and tell them that even one small good deed can have many positive effects!

Your generosity has already made such a difference in the way my second graders are able to learn each day.\r\n\r\nTechnology is a regular part of our classroom, especially as students work on programs like i-Ready that provide instruction and practice based on each child's individual learning needs. Having their own reliable headphones allows students to hear directions, listen to passages and lessons, and work at their own pace without being distracted by the sound from other devices around the room. It has helped make our independent learning time calmer, more focused, and much more productive.\r\n\r\nMy students were especially excited to have headphones that they could use consistently instead of worrying about whether we would have enough working pairs. Something as simple as putting on their headphones and getting started independently has given them a greater sense of ownership over their learning.\r\n\r\nI have especially noticed the impact on students who need additional support or extra repetition. They can replay directions, listen carefully to instruction, and take the time they need without feeling rushed by the students around them. Students who sometimes struggle to stay focused have also benefited from being able to block out some of the classroom noise and concentrate on what is happening on their own screen.\r\n\r\nAt the beginning of second grade, we are working hard to build independence and confidence, and these headphones are helping us do exactly that. They may seem like a small piece of technology, but in our classroom they are a tool that my students use to learn, grow, and become more independent every day.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and giving them the tools they need to be successful.
