The colors help highlight important information, keep students motivated, and bring excitement to learning activities.\r\n\r\nThe organizing containers have been just as impactful. They make it simple to store and rotate sets of task cards, so I can quickly grab what we need for small groups or independent practice. My students are now able to access the materials on their own, which builds their independence and helps keep our classroom running smoothly. This has saved valuable instructional time and given students a sense of responsibility in caring for their learning tools.\r\n\r\nThe cardstock has added durability to the cards, ensuring they last through daily use and still look brand new. Students take pride in using resources that feel sturdy and important, which encourages them to stay engaged.

I am a first-year school counselor, and I have struggled to find the resources to invest in my room as I had initially dreamed financially. The funding for this project has enabled our dysregulated students to have access to a safe and calming tent, as well as floor tiles, to help them regulate their emotions. The weighted animals are great for students to hold while they discuss heavy topics in individual or group sessions. Every student who enters my office gravitates toward the sand tray.\r\nWe had our state testing last week, and when the small group I was testing was done, I brought them into my office. They said I have the coolest room in the school, and that is precisely what I was hoping to create. I wanted a place that students enjoyed visiting.\r\nMy next steps are to continue using the fantastic resources you have provided and start lending them to teachers with students who need them, so they can begin to learn self-regulation.
