Funded Sep 26, 2024It has been a few months since the Donors Choose items have been funded and arrived and I just wanted to reach out to express my gratitude once more. Their reactions to each and every item were precious. Each item spoke to a different student. I have one student who loves planets and can become easily distracted. We use the search and find planet board as motivation to complete challenging fine motor activities. I have other student's who really benefit from proprioceptive input in order to feel ready to work at tabletop tasks, these students love slithering like snakes, crawling like cats or walking like bears through our new tunnel. I have some older students that are working on their executive functioning skills, who love the new memory game where they challenge themselves to remember long color patterns and feel like they are playing a video game, while they are really addressing their executive functioning skills. I can go on forever but lastly, all of my students benefit from the feelings board which gives them visuals to help identify how they are feeling and choose an action to assist with self-regulation. Overall, all of you along with the help of Donors Choose have really made a difference and greatly impacted the lives of my students and we are so grateful! Thank you!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Malya
