This small change has helped several of my more sensory-sensitive students feel more at ease and focused throughout the day.\r\nThe Bouncy Bands have become a favorite among my more active learners. Instead of constantly fidgeting or struggling to stay seated, they're now able to release their energy in a quiet, productive way while continuing to stay engaged in lessons. \r\nThe mini basketball goal is a HUGE hit! Students light up when they get to take a shot after meeting a goal. Whether it's mastering a math skill, completing a reading challenge, or showing improved behavior, the chance to celebrate with a mini game has created an encouraging, team-like atmosphere in our class. They cheer each other on and get so excited when anyone scores a goal. \r\nEvery item you helped provide has a purpose and a daily presence in our classroom.
