The creativity—and pride—has gone way up.\r\nRulers, highlighters, and scissors are helping them stay organized, focus on key ideas, and build confidence with hands-on tasks.\r\n We're seeing more engagement, more collaboration, and more \"I get it!\" moments.

The spinning chair helps the kids who liked to spin in circles non stop and now they don't bump into friends or other objects in the classroom. I even had parents ask for the link to the spinning chair. Which I feel like was a win because that means it had an impact on the child and they wanted it.
