Funded Sep 26, 2023The first week of schools was a week of joy and creativity for my students and I.

The ink for the printer provided colorful instructions. The crayons, glue, and classroom decorations brought ideas and imagination from their mind to the papers. Having plenty of items for everyone to use at once without having to wait for available materials kept the lessons going fluently. I am forever grateful for your support and generosity. Every one of my students feel so special because they desk have the necessary supplies needed to access the lessons. I remembered one of my students saying, "Look we have new pencils, crayons, scissors" and I felt such a warm feeling. Thank you for all your support.”

My students are having a good time exploring their classroom environment using items that gives them the right amount of sensory input to calm their bodies. One student in particular had a difficult time during fire drills due to the noisy alarms and rapid movements around her. She will scream and freeze during fire drill, making it impossible to exit the building. Now she is using the weighted neck pillow and a stress ball that came with this project and she is able to feel more grounded and calm during fire drills. During read aloud time, the wighted lap pillow gives some of my students the sensory input needed to be clam and remain seated for longer periods of time. Thank you for helping me improve my students' quality of life in the classroom.”
