Thank you for your generous donations. The wagons were very much needed. My student and team love them. They are used multiple times a day for multiple reasons. We use them to transport students when they are upset, unhappy, injured or angry. They ride in the wagon when they are happy and sad. They ride when they need a break or a comfortable place to sit. Our team used the wagon to help keep students safe as well. I know they will last us a long time. My team and I are very grateful. Thank you!”
My team and I thank you for donating to our special classroom. We appreciate all the new materials we received.
The students have been using everything for art and other subjects as well. The art smocks were used just today while playing at the water table. They kept the students dry while they had lots of fun.
The adults appreciate the ease of which it helps make the art projects. The paper cutter helps with prep time. Things are much more efficient thanks to your big heart.
Thank you again for you generosity”

Thank you so much for you donations. With your donations our student are happier and healthier. Our little classroom a cleaner and safer environment.
Our students are able to identify what the items are and how they are used. The students also help us keep our classroom clean and safe. The little vaccum is used daily and the students enjoy seeing the adult use it. They even let the adults know when there is a spill they say " vacuum"
My team and I are grateful for all you generosity.
Thank you again.”

Thank you so much for you donation. With your donation my students received materials that help with social skills, cognitive skills, literacy, and math.
The materials we orders will help our students with autism because the materials are hands-on and fun. The flannel board helps my students understand stories in books. The new alphabet game and number game are a new and fun way for my students to learn the alphabet and numbers.
My team and I are very grateful for your contributions. Thank you again.”

Thank you so much for your donations. With you donations we now have materials to use in our dramatic play area for our students.
Most of my students have an eligibility of autism and because of this they sometimes have a difficult time using joint attention, imitation and play skills that are necessary for learning future skills.
My students were so excited to play with the little pretend microwave. They now have learned how to use it and are pretending to cook food in the microwave. They are learning numbers when they push the buttons on the microwave they are learning literacy when they look at the pictures and identify the items they want to work in the microwave and they are learning social skills when they take turns and share with friends.
All the new tools (aka toys) we received will help students now and in the future learn so many skills . Thank you again.”

Thank you so much for donating to our little project. Our school was in need of a cart to help us keep our outside toys organized. Thanks to you we have been able to make this possible.
Having a cart to use with our toys has made having fun, functional and practical.
Our students use the cart everyday they find it to be the perfect size to hold everything we need to be able to lean and play.
Out teachers find the cart to be practical and functional. Having wheels on it helps us roll the cart in and our everyday.
Thank you again for your generosity.”

Our special classroom is just the beginning of my student's learning career. The foundational skills that they learn at this age will be carried with them the rest of their lives. These foundational skills though can sometimes be difficult to learn when my students have difficulty concentrating due to overstimulation, or sensory processing disorders.
Having different sensory toys, furniture and activities will help my students be able to concentrate on the important things like learning ABC's and 123's. A variety of sensory toys will surely meet all of my student's needs for years to come.
