It was inspiring to see their confidence grow as they engaged in hands-on exploration, developing motor skills and spatial awareness in a joyful way.\r\n\r\nThe Lysol disinfecting wipes, hand sanitizer, and Lysol disinfectant spray have become essential tools in maintaining a clean, germ-free environment. My students reacted positively, understanding the importance of hygiene and showing enthusiasm for practicing good habits. They feel proud of helping keep our space safe, which fosters responsibility and independence.\r\n\r\nThe metal storage cabinet with locking doors has transformed our classroom organization. Students now take ownership of their materials, learning to manage their belongings responsibly. This sense of independence boosts their confidence and contributes to a respectful and orderly classroom environment.\r\n\r\nOverall, these thoughtfully chosen resources have created a nurturing, safe, and engaging space.
