My students could not have been more excited and grateful when I surprised them with your donations! We've gotten to read through most of the read alouds that were included in the donation. I love how these read alouds taught them great lessons that we regularly refer back to. Their favorite was \"I have ants in my pants\"! The stools have been a great addition to my small group. The students are very excited to be able to sit on a fun stool during the day. My students love the calming corner and the additions that came from your donation. They regularly use this corner when they feel big emotions and need to step away from the class. The fidgets are a great way to help them self-regulate. They also LOVED the story \"The little spot of emotions\" and the fact that it came with little stuffed emotions. We refer back to them regularly and they help students identify the emotions they are feeling. I truly appreciate your generosity in creating this space for my students.
