We have also been doing wonderful with our laundry and the detergent was a huge help to knock down my out of pocket costs. The carpet has also been a highlight for the students! They love sitting on it and using their cushions during video lessons, game days, and yoga. In addition to these items, the students also love using the cash register and working with the fake money. I have already seen so much growth since we have received these manipulatives.
