I have loved getting to watch them find their love for school and learning using these materials! \r\n\r\nAll of my students couldn't wait to use the Playdoh to make their name and shapes. All of the organizational bins have helped my students grow their independence skills and work on their sorting skills as well while practicing number recognition from the bin labels.

The new therapy materials have definitely had a positive impact on my speech therapy sessions and student engagement. I'm able to target speech and language skill, encourage pretend play, and promote social interaction. \r\n\r\nThe cabinet allows to me to put distracting things out of sight to keep my students on task. It also helps them focus on one task at a time. They understand that an activity is \"all done\" when we put it back in the cabinet. We working on requesting to \"open\" the cabinet. \r\n\r\nToday I used my Pet Vet set to work on language goals such as location words and answering WH- questions. We used fruit/veggie cutting set and cooking set to work on vocabulary and expanding sentences. We use the farm set to work on prepositions/locationa words. (\"The chicken is in the nest\". or \"Put the cow under the blanket\"). \r\n\r\nMy caseload has definitely changed dramatically in the last several years to include a higher percentage of students who are non-verbal.

Our third graders went from not knowing how to swim to learning how to swim, life-saving techniques, and dive in the deep end of the pool- all in a matter of EIGHT weeks of lessons! It was such an unbelievable experience and forever memory for these kids, not to mention a life skill that could very well save a life. They had never been swimming in a pool, so no swim suits, goggles, or swim caps. They didn't have any of the materials necessary for this adventure and YOU made it possible. I can not thank you enough for contributing financially, donating towels, suits, goggles, and your words of encouragement when there were bumps in the road.
